Mission: The Emerald Road
Location: Marine Deck
Timeline: Mid 'Caught at last'

Jack had every single marine on board prepared and ready to go but more importantly he had to make sure that the Orion women on board didn't sway the tide of the battle doing what everyone knew them to do. Jack had asked Commander Patrovski to send a team down to start innoculating the marines, 8 medical officers in tandem with marine medics had been injecting the fighting force with a similar thing the Commodore was using for his Partner, Vash. Xavier however when asked where this medication came from infurred that it was in the medical database from past trials, a effort to keep Vash out of it.

"Alright ladies, park it." Jack spoke as he addressed the gathered marines before him.

"As we speak we are engaging what is believed to be the vessel containing the HVT (High Value Target), said target is Vash. Some of you may have seen her walking around on the Dreadnought. Yes, the same one." Jack decided to confirm in case the question mulled about in the minds of others.

"Our mission is to board the Corvette, secure it, take prisoners and hold it until we can warp tow it to Federation space. The innoculations you have been getting are designed to help you ward off the effects we all know Orion women are capable of. Sorry ladies, but the headache you are going to get on board you will have to suck it up." Jack didn't envy the women on his teams. "The Commodore wants us to take all female crewmembers alive."

Jack called up a picture of Vash. "This is Vash, she is the HVT, we strongly suspect that what you see here is not what you will see should you find her. Who ever abducted her did so right from our doorstep and considering all the trouble they went through we believe they got hands on with her. Maximum stun settings for any female crew members you engage. Any male crew, drop em. Try to avoid melee combat, they are bigger, they are stronger than us."

Jack gave pause, letting the information sink in. "Major."

Sam stepped up. "Team leaders will have noticed changes to squad compositions. I have evenly split the female contingent of the department between all the teams being used. Even with the medication given we have no idea the combined effects multiple Orion women will have on the males in close quarters. We should all be aware of those around us, we have all heard the stories, watched the holovids, we know what they can do so be mindful and if you suspect something is wrong, call it in."

One marine put his hand up. "Ma'am, what about the ship, we are marines, not engineers."

"Chief Engineer Bradshaw has tasked us one of his teams, they with a marine escort team will fight to the Engineering deck where they will attempt to shut any defences, forcefields and the like down. The Major and I along with a team will engage towards the Bridge, remember, any female gets stunned. The Commodore wants people to answer for whats happened." Jack chipped in.

The team sent by Bradshaw was easy to pick out, they were the only attending in gold in a sea of green.

"Commander Patrovski has already prepared secure treatment facilities for any captured we take. I can not stress enough the importance of watching corners and avoiding CQ combat. If its unavoidable, do so in numbers, don't go it alone. Orion males are large, muscular beings, much bigger and much stronger than any of us here." Sam added.

"As mentioned, its very likely that Vash will be in worse for wear, her location is unknown on board the ship, we don't know where they keep prisoners and with a ship full of Orions its hard to pick out one. IF....you are in any doubt, stun first, beam back to the ship and ask questions later. It's safe to say that anyone shooting at you is hostile, Vash may not but she may, tortured, confused, wounded, we don't know what to expect from her. Do not call out her name, we don't want other female crew members or prisoners to impersonate. The Doctor will verify Vash's identity once she is back on board.

"Once secure, any surviving male crew will be stripped, searched and locked up here. I'm sure Commander Reign has some suitable attire somewhere for them for her holding cells. I don't want any heroics, you newer guys I don't want ego's taking over, make no mistake ladies and gentlemen they will kill you and think nothing of it. There will be casualties, accept it but remember training and watch out for those around you." Jack gave a moment for pause.

"Final checks people, get ready."
