The Mexican stand-off between Neathler, Stoyer, Leelou and the guards had reached boiling point<ref name="Neathler:Vortex">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/133t2St097o/dVvOpFaIBAAJ Lieutenant JG Samira Neathler - Who'll Shoot First]</ref>.

SO much for a snatch and grab.

In the midst of '''The Slims''' in the '''Habitation District''', the team had followed the instructions left behind by Blackbird to a closed off cul-de-sac inside the rundown neighbourhood. There, Blackbird made himself known<ref name="Blackbird:Nassau">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/ByP5L14caqs/fW9vKwDQBAAJ Blackbird - A Meeting At Last]</ref>. However, their tense meeting was not to last. When it finally looked as though Blackbird believed the team in their extraction mission, their "friends" from '''The Western Inn''' reappeared, following a tracking device implimanted onto Cayne's satchel<ref name="Cayne:Fox">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/Q7jtpLcZv4E/fm5aTXVSBwAJ Ensign Caitríona Cayne - The Fox Becomes a Rat]</ref>.

A scuffle ensued, allowing the team to escape in the fracas, with Blackbird jetting into the night on his motorbike, Marshall and Cayne alongside. As they drew away the aggressors, Fortune and Smith headed back for their shuttlecraft, only to be pipped at the post by '''Theeda'''<ref name="Smith:StandingUp">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/hl2eMIu3ONY/7ZNbQ67pAAAJ Lieutenant JG Groznin Smith - Standing Up]</ref>.  


On the '''Whydah''', the team had come across a young woman by the name of '''Nirte'''. Fearful of the team, Nkai did his best to talk her around and find out more information of the invading ship monster, the '''Taniwha''' who could shapeshift into different shapes depending on the beholder's fears<ref name="Nkai:Taniwha">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/4BjyP4drrbI/n9xAY3jQBAAJ Lt.

A deep resonating sound from a phenomenon brushed past the ''Kahnrah'''s hull. Moments late, a buoy picked up on the sensors, and a communication reached the team with a notification to evacuate immediatly due to an incoming threat detected by the Gorkon<ref name="Nkai:GoTime">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/hyaQg9cF8gY/hO945C1lAgAJ Lt.

Back in '''Club Vortex''' the stand-off reached peak as Tereen and Adea bust in through the VIP back entry way, accosting the guards in a marked act of Starfleet style surprise certain Captains would be proud of.  
Back in '''Club Vortex''' the stand-off reached peak as Tereen and Adea bust in through the VIP back entry way, accosting the guards in a marked act of Starfleet style surprise certain Captains would be proud of. Leelou now out of it<ref name="Leelou:Suppressed">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/UhPWTIja8gs/KJQghpapAAAJ MSNPC Leelou - Suppressed]</ref> and in custody, the team began planning their escape off the asteroid, back through to where their shuttlecraft and pilot would be waiting for them. However, Leelou's guards were not about to let their underboss go without putting up some kind of a fight<ref name="Neathler:Chase">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/y8PM2JilVbg/y2XQGBbgAAAJ Lieutenant JG Samira Neathler - Being Chased]</ref>.  


Escaping out of the '''Syndicate Service District''', Sevo and Namura managed to carry the unconscious Vondaryan the length of the tunnel and through a complex network of pipework. Coming free of the confined space, they cleared through up to where their shuttlecraft was, however, what they did find was a smouldering ruin where their pilot, Tam, and their way off the asteroid had been.

As the two started to count their options, another appeared in the form of '''Malik Jadin'''<ref name="Jadin:UUnexpected">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/8FwYziYn4sQ/SkYYxjzCDgAJ (MSNPC) Malik Jadin - Unexpected Friend]</ref>.  They followed him back to his store, and after knocking out a Klingon guard and providing some sorely required medical equipment to keep Vondaryan ticking along, '''Jadin''' revealed himself to be Starfleet Intelligence, or working with them, and could provide the officers flight back to their rendevouz point. With a moment of hesitation, Sevo accepted.
