The Hidden Missionaries (USS Eagle): Difference between revisions

In the next lab over, [[Kayla Drex|Lt Drex]] and [[Kettick|Ens Kettick]] had managed to get systems within that lab working when they heard weapons going off in the corridor outside. Deciding it best not to step out into the fray, they crawled through the connecting passage between labs 1 and 2 in order to restore systems in there as well. Upon arriving however, they saw a bedraggled and bloody Cardassian assembling a bomb of sorts. Kettick used the lid of a storage container as an improvised weapon to great effect, knocking the would-be bomber out cold in one blow. He then restrained Jabt while the team in the hallways worked on a way to get the lab doors open again.

Back in Science Lab 2, the hallway team managed to get the door open again, and as Kettick worked on the device he'd cobbled together to get the containment field operational, Dano placed the orb on a holding cylinder within the field that would be isolated once systems were up. What the team didn't realize however, was that Jabt had regained consciousness and was inching toward the orb, intent on regaining it at any cost. When he kicked out, dislocating his shoulders (as his hands were bound to his feet), he knocked the orb off its plinth and into his hands. Upon contact with his prize, Jabt began to laugh. From his perspective, he was becoming omniscient and omnipresent - one with the Wraiths. From the team's stunned perspective, even as something large collided with the hull of the ship, they saw a mad, dying man. His laughter turned to screams of agony. The thin crack in the orb began to glow white-hot, roasting Jabt's hands. Instantly and simultaneously, the orb broke in two the instant Jabt's head fell to the deck. He was dead, and so was the orb. The team set to work after regaining their composure on clearing up the "mess" in the lab and getting vital systems back online.
