Mission: The Emerald Road
Location: Orion Ship

As the Marines fought their way forward, the Orions became more desperate. One slinky, feral looking Orion woman came from around a corner wearing next to nothing and gave the men a direct look. "You really don't want to be here, do you boys?"

This was exactly why Sam had women mixed with the men, women wouldn't be influenced, just get a raging headache which would come in handy when having to deal with the influenced men. She could see some of the men hesitate, that '2nd thought' face on them.

"One more word out of you sweetheart and I'll line you up along with the rest of your crew." There were 5 other women around Sam, she hoped they would be able to keep the team in line, or if not, someone was going to end up on the floor with a heavy stun setting.

All of the remaining engineers that were with Sam's team were all male, while they couldn't see the female speaking, it sounded angelic, the voice of a goddess, calming, soothing.

Seeing all the women around the lead Marine, the female Orion snarled at them and dove back behind the corner. "Kill them!" she screamed at someone before a disruptor shot came around the corner, followed by a stumbling burly Orion male who looked shocked to be there.

Seeing the female flee and the large male visibly confused Sam made sure his confusion was short lived. With the apparent disorganised momentum Sam wanted to capitalise on it. The trade off was 4 for 1 marine, most would call that fair but Sam's team couldn't keep taking those losses. Pressing on they traversed the path that lead them to Vash's cell. She turned to one of the engineers. "Get this door open."

She slapped a male marine who seemed to be a little out of it. "Get your head on straight marine."

An engineer went to the panel and pulled off the face plate to reveal all the circuits inside. He connected his computer and began to work. He knew little of Vash aside from the gossip that went around but she had to be important with all the levels of security that was involved. His programs were taking time, every time he thought he'd made a connection the system would lock him out. Even as the sounds of a firefight raged on he was trying his best.

He decided to take another route, he accessed the power grid systems and used that to gain entry from within the system. Within 15 seconds later the door opened. Now they just had to go back the way they came. "Its open." He called out to the Major

A combat medic rushed in, Vash was in a bad way, real bad. Cuts, bruising, internal bleeding, fractures and a whole score of other injuries.

"How is she?" Sam spoke guarding the door.

"Bad, borrowed time if we don't hustle out of here sharpish."

"Iso tag her and lets finish this." Sam spoke as she indicated for the marines to push on. They had a ship to secure. "Heavy stun them all, we have the HVT so shoot on sight, females especially, don't let them talk." Then Vash was whisked away to Sickbay, all that was left now were the crew.

James's engineers gave a sigh of relief. Vash had been rescued but now the ordeal of securing the ship came next. For such a small crew it was only a matter of time, fresh marines could easily pour in and the Corvette had nowhere to get reinforcements from in time.

With two of the three Mothers captured, the remaining one barricaded herself on the bridge. A minute later, an alarm klaxon began to sound and an Orion countdown from thirty began.

The UT translator counting numbers, downwards. "That's our cue to get out of here." A countdown and an alarm generally meant only one thing.

With even more haste than when they boarded everyone quickly beat tracks to get back to the ship. They used the Indefatigable transporters too to help evacuate quicker. =^= Snyder to Bridge, I think they have activated a self destruct, we should detach and leave right away. =^= Sam was pushing marines through holes and down corridors as fast as her legs would carry.

Seconds later Sam, her marines and the engineers with them appeared on the deck on board the Indefatigable, a wave of relief, bodies accepting the fight was over and now the price for such tension and effort was due.
