''Note: Maquis crew will be referred to by their call signs, a full list of which can be found here: [[Skarbek/Crew|Skarbek Crew and Known Associates]].'' | |||
With their prisoner, one Commander [[Quinn Reynolds/Skarbek|Quinn Reynolds]], confined to empty Quarters within the ship, the escaped crew of the Skarbek come down from the heights of the daring departure from Outpost Schulman. Left with little to their name, and most of it broken, repairs began in Engineering to fix the tanker after jumping to warp within the atmosphere of the planet, alongside general repairs that required [[Tasha MacFarlane/Skarbek|Sparks]] and [[Cory Stoyer/Skarbek|Stripper]] to be on the top of their game. | |||
Interrogation of the prisoner began with [[Trellis Vondaryan/Skarbek|Slick]], with the implication of torture for [[Quinn Reynolds/Skarbek|Commander Reynolds]] if she didn't give over the information they had been trying to extract for weeks. The threat loomed in the room with them, broken only by the arrival of [[Yiggtissi/Skarbek|Leg Man]] and [[Jocelyn Marshall/Skarbek|Blondie]] for a medical check-up. They were joined shortly after by [[Genkos Sim/Skarbek|Wheels]] and proceeded to have several conversations on the nature of morality in the DMZ. | |||
Heading back from their mission, [[Erin Reynolds/Skarbek|Vines]], accompanied by [[Samira Neathler/Skarbek|Newbie]] and '''Buttons''', slip the ''Inayat-Khan'' into autopilot and get to know one another on board. Amidst a hangover that could flatten a raging Mugato, they were all feeling a little worse for wear after an evening with the Klingons. However, their mission proved to be a success, bringing back a cloaking device and several stocks of supplies from their liaison. | |||
Meanwhile, another couple of liaisons were starting to take shape; one between [[Cory Stoyer/Skarbek|Stripper]] and [[Ayiana Sevo/Skarbek|Red]], with the former asking the latter to join him for a romantic meal in the Galley that evening, and the other between '''Scrounger''' and [[Groznin Smith/Skarbek|The Kid]], which had started on Schulman and progressed on board. Both were more ill-fated than a trip on a steamliner in 1912. | |||
During this, back on the Bridge, [[Emilia Krugol/Skarbek|Princess]], [[Ferier Lanta/Skarbek|Sticks]] and [[Elias Burke/Skarbek|Thumper]] speculate on the arrival of the prisoner on board, repair a couple of issues with the motherboard of the ship, and continue their course heading for their rendezvous point. Feeling the effects of the mission a little later than expected, [[Emilia Krugol/Skarbek|Princess]] fainted on the Bridge and had to be carried by [[Ferier Lanta/Skarbek|Sticks]] down to Sickbay, joined by [[Trellis Vondaryan/Skarbek|Slick]] and [[Yiggtissi/Skarbek|Leg Man]], who had been drinking in the space to while the time away with conversation. | |||
Conducting an examination on [[Emilia Krugol/Skarbek|Princess]], [[Yiggtissi/Skarbek|Leg Man]] stumbled across an interesting prognosis regarding their combined mental state - notably, that they were all within the cycles of REM sleep and weren't actually awake at all. As [[Genkos Sim/Skarbek|Wheels]] joined them, they began their deeper investigation into the proposed theory. Simultaneously, on the way down to the Cargo Bay, [[Ayiana Sevo/Skarbek|Red]] took a nosedive, going incredibly dizzy and nearly passed out. She made her way to Sickbay. | |||
In the midst of repairs, [[Tasha MacFarlane/Skarbek|Sparks]] found that she required isolinear chips from their makeshift storage facilities and found herself in the same room with Commander [[Quinn Reynolds/Skarbek|Reynolds]] and dented the table with her cybernetic hand. | |||
::''Meanwhile, on the USS Gorkon - Lieutenant [[Caedan Nkai]], Chief of Operations, had been shot in the side and managed to get into Sickbay. With the crew out cold from whatever malady had befallen them, the EMH was the only available medical personnel ready to handle his injury. Unable to remain in Sickbay for long for surgery to repair the bullet wound, [[Caedan Nkai|Nkai]] convinced the EMH to patch him up so he could get back out to the ship to figure out what was going on.'' | |||
Back on board the ''Inayat-Khan'', [[Seneca Wilde|Wilde]] found the core of the cloaking device they had brought on board the ship was pouring out high energy photons, reaching critical levels. [[Erin Reynolds/Skarbek|Vines]] investigated, finding the device had been configured to register as though it was installed on a ship and not in storage, leading to [[Samira Neathler/Skarbek|Newbie]] and '''Buttons''' discovering a teenage Cardassian stowaway in their cargo hold. | |||
In Sickbay, [[Groznin Smith/Skarbek|The Kid]] appeared with a cut in his hand from the Cargo Bay, amidst the chaos of the investigation into whether they were all sleeping/dreaming or not. This was swiftly concluded when [[Walter Brunsig/Skarbek|Papa Bear]] appeared from his den and called into question the validity of their theory as well as the state of their equipment. A swift call to [[Tasha MacFarlane/Skarbek|Sparks]] to fix their equipment, while drunk, and the rest scattered into the wind. | |||
:: ''Meanwhile, on the USS Gorkon - Lladre, an outlaw from Trill and would-be Captain of the Gorkon sat in the central chair as though she owned the place, watching several monitors of the streamed data from the Skarbek. Without much progress in the way of interrogation of the Commander, with most of the crew feeling some kind of allegiance to her without knowing exactly why, Doctor Ana Mirovan, architect of the dreamworld, pushes the scenario into higher gear.'' | |||
Up on the Bridge, [[Ferier Lanta/Skarbek|Sticks]] and '''Soup''' guided the Skarbek on the final leg of the journey to the rendezvous point, and met up with the ''Inayat-Khan''. Granting access to dock, [[Ferier Lanta/Skarbek|Sticks]] took off for the hold in search of food, [[Ayiana Sevo/Skarbek|Red]] took off for her date with [[Cory Stoyer/Skarbek|Stripper]], while '''Soup''' remained on the Bridge, holding an impromptu dance lesson with a seemingly recovered [[Emilia Krugol/Skarbek|Princess]], before escaping to the Cargo Hold once [[Ferier Lanta/Skarbek|Sticks]] returned to show up his dancing abilities with a flared Trill rendition with [[Emilia Krugol/Skarbek|Princess]]. | |||
Down in the Cargo Hold, the docked ''Inayat-Khan'' allowed the disembark of [[Erin Reynolds/Skarbek|Vines]], [[Samira Neathler/Skarbek|Newbie]] and '''Buttons''' onto the Skarbek. A hearty greeting from friends and a welcome back on board later, the two new crew onboard were treated to a whistlestop tour of the Skarbek by [[Groznin Smith/Skarbek|The Kid]] and '''Scrounger''', while [[Jocelyn Marshall/Skarbek|Blondie]] and [[Erin Reynolds/Skarbek|Vines]] retreated to her quarters for the sake of the continued health of the hygiene filters. | |||
However, inside the makeshift cell of the Starfleet Intelligence Officer, the Commander dreamed of a romantic affair with [[Walter Brunsig/Skarbek|Brunsig]], culminated in a short, sharp, shock back to reality as the [[Arkarian]] crewmember '''Bondon''' laid into her, with no holds barred. Attempting to retrieve her codes, he beat her into unconsciousness while the rest of the ship carried on, blissfully unaware. | |||
Until, after a shower to ward off the hangover, a conversation between [[Erin Reynolds/Skarbek|Vines]] and [[Jocelyn Marshall/Skarbek|Blondie]] reveals the secret they had been keeping from her - her twin sister, [[Quinn Reynolds/Skarbek|Quinn]] was aboard, and they were holding her prisoner. Taking off for the woman's quarters, [[Erin Reynolds/Skarbek|Vines]] found her sister, unconscious on the floor, amidst splatters of blood. | |||
The question was: who did it? | |||
===Act Three: A Dream Unravels=== | |||
The Maquis crew of the ''Skarbek'' begin to feel the boundaries of their reality shifting when they are faced with the unconscious Starfleet Intelligence Officer and a question that their world is not as it seems. | |||
