SIM:Cadet Jackford Kolk - Beyond Mere Training: Difference between revisions

(('''Starbase 118, Holodeck'''))

'''Trix''': ::Looking VERY puzzled:: Just one question. Why didn't my security detail dematerialise with the rest of the simulation?

<nowiki>::</nowiki>The newly-appointed ensigns all looked towards Trix's heavily armed security detail. The smaller of the group, a male human steps forward and indicated for the rest of his colleagues to train their weapons on the bewildered ensigns.::

<nowiki>::</nowiki>Torentak looks to the floor and smiles once more as he calls for the ARCH.::

<nowiki>::</nowiki>Once more, the deck of the Centris sprang to life.::

'''Torentak''': Do people in this universe know how similar transporter technology is to holodeck technology? Its all about reconstructing atoms, manipulating matter... all very simple really. The Terran Empire has been doing this for years!!

<nowiki>::</nowiki>He walked amongst the ensigns. His strut denoted an air of arrogance that can only obtained from the spoils of victory. As he turned his attention toward Toli, Ensign Kolk covertly tapped a command into his console calling Starbase Security to the Holodeck.::

'''Torentak''': Toli my Pakled friend. Your medical records where indeed correct, but only from our universe. And Jackford, the man who had such a brilliant career ahead of him, your space-time eddies are in fact multidimensional transporter devices with our ships just waiting to come through.

<nowiki>::</nowiki>Kolk quickly prepared a briefing of the situation for the Starbase Command Staff, specifically suggesting the Engineering Staff work (quickly) on flooding the surrounding area with anti-tachyons to counter-act any of Torentak's multidimensional ship-transporter. Torentak stopped in mid-gloat when he noticed unexpected visitors on Alexanders console. Starbase Security was on its way, 6 guards.::

'''Kolk''': Hey Rho, ever play... tackle football? oO I wonder if she can move as fast as she can think...Oo

<nowiki>::</nowiki>With no further warning, he leapt at one of the Imperial Guards. Rho chose another and lunged ahead. They were facing a number of armed foes, who were ready, able, and more then willing to kill them all. They were all unarmed. Rho knew what she had to do to protect her fellow Ensigns. Her skin grew darker, getting a grey sheen as she brought her armor on-line. She whipped her elbow around to smack into the guard's head, knocking him out cold. Rho landed, her foot shooting out to strike another guard in the face.::

 

<nowiki>::</nowiki>As he leapt on the guard nearest him, Kolk saw Ensign Rho's body morphing out of the corner of his eye.::

<nowiki>::</nowiki>As he knocked the guard on his back, Kolk clasped his hands and swung full-force at the phaser rifle in his hands, but the guard was ready for that. He tightened his grip on the rifle and forced it up against Kolk's swinging arms. The sound of bones cracking filled the air as the guard's blow crushed one of Kolk's wrists. But the guard wasn't done. He let Kolk fall foward onto him and then threw him to the bulkhead with a backward sommersault. Kolk's head struck the bulkhead hard. Then, with a quick roll to one side, the guard aimed his rifle and fired. The energy beam seared the air, filling the bridge with the smell of ozone, and struck Kolk's already limp body hard in the chest, vaporizing him on the spot.::

<nowiki>::</nowiki>Suddenly there was a flash of light and Torentak and his men disappeared, and Ensign Kolk's unconscious body appeared in a ball on the floor amid the Centris' bridge. Above him, in front of the viewscreen, stood a tall, balding man...::

'''Q''': The name's Q! Perhaps you've heard of me? ::Waits briefly for a response. Doesn't get one.:: No? What is the Academy teaching you young people today? No matter. ::turning to Rho:: Now, I wonder, little lady, if you know how intriguing we in the Continuum find you and your bird "clan." You're really nothing like that Data fellow--although I did rather like him... No, you have much more... potential...

'''Q''': Oh, don't worry about him. He'll be just fine. This was really just a test for you, Rho. He and the others won't remember any of this! Nothing, after those two old dullards shut down the program and walked off. But you... Just remember this, my dear: The Q will be watching you...

<nowiki>::</nowiki>After Dickens and Turner had left the holodeck, the Ensigns began talking amongst themselves.::

'''Turner''': ::The Lt.Commander's voice echos in the Holodeck:: Aldeberan Whisky? Sounds good to me. Drinks are on me. ::she grins, seeing the surprised look on their faces.:: Don't you know that big brother (sister in my case) is always watching?
