"Commander, we have our package. Do you think your new friend could identify which side it's on? it's in a fiber-containment but we can easily clear the head... or whichever part it needs to be identified."

"Or hold it til later... up to you." K'ner told her.

She would love to take Joffery head off, but instead, she looked at the two sets of Captain's pips. It took a moment to understand. " Ah yes. You got Captain Jason Williams?" At her nodded. Mira turned to the Undine she had been talking to. "Can you tell if any of the people in that group are Undine? "

~Only humans are here.~ was his answer

Mira knew some races removed the rank and metals of people who had disgraced themselves. Disgraced Captains pips. You didn't see that too often.

"All humans," Mira wispered then
followed K'ner a short way down the hall until she reached Williams.

"Why Captain Williams, how nice to see you again." Mira used a very sarcastic tone. "You are being relived of command and taken into custody to stand trial on at least 70 violations of federation laws. Their is probably more that I missed, but...." she gave a little shrug as she smiled. "What happened to the civilians that had been living here?"

His eye narrowed. " I never liked you." Was all she got out of him.

Mira grinned. "So rude , here I came all this way at your request." She looked over at K'ner. "See the thanks we get for all our troubles?"

At the odd blank look on his face, Mira cocked her head to the side, studying him. She knew the Captain that had requested aid had not been a human and not Williams now even if it had looked like him. This man didn't know anything about the message.

Moving to a corner of the room, Mira slid to the floor, sitting in a meditation pose. So many emotions were going through her mind, both good and bad. Did she ever really know Joffery at all? Probably not. she had been very young back then.

~You defend us~ The Undine said. Startled, her eyes snapped to his. Nodded, her eyes went back to watching Joffery, wondering if they could get him to take the scattering field down but He just laid their on the floor.

~Why?~

"Why did I protect you?" she asked the Undine "Because you will be the reason we find peace."

The Undine nodded. " It would not have been possible if not for Lance and then you." He said out loud

Mira just smiled. " I suppose that is true."

=/\= "The USS Endeavor has arrived and will be dealing with all of this. They received your reports on the situation. We can't get the scattering field down, so we will be coming to get the crew soon." =/\=

"Yes, sir, we will be ready. " Mira wondered how? They would not be using the USS Chuck Norris' shuttles because theirs only held a few people at a time. It would take forever, or did they plan to bring the Norris down here? She didn't think so. Now, the Endeavors' shuttles would work, but she didn't know how far the scattering field went.

Just then, she heard shuttles starting to land and moved to go outside.

One of the shuttles landed fairly close to the medical facility, and two men got out, walking toward her. She shielded her eyes from the sun. Then, as they grew closer, she took a military stance, one used around higher ranking officers.

"At easy Lt.Commander Rodale. This is Ambassador S’vec he will be handling the rest of the negotiations. I am Commander Scott. "

Holding her hand up in a very Vulcan manner, she said in Vulcan, " Grow old in wisdom Ambassador S’vec I think you will fine the Undine here very interesting." She looked to the Commander. "We have both Captain Jason Williams and Captain Joffery Maclor in custody, but the colonists we couldn't find." Mira reported

He nodded. "Some of the civilians were found in a cargo ship not long ago. We will take it from here."

"Yes, sir. " She moved to the shuttles and saw the people she had left at HQ then waved them to the shuttles. Funny how when the crap hits the fan, no one is around to help, but they come out of the woodwork to clean up a victory and plan to take credit for things. "

She stopped walking and then walked back to Commander Scott. Taking the padd out of her jacket, she handed it to him. " This will more then likely become classified." she told them.

Nodding, she continued walking back to the shuttles "Alright people let's move out."

She entered the shuttle, and the thought crossed her mind I need a meal, a shower, and a bed. Then she looked down at her blooded uniform and added a new uniform because this was getting tossed.

off: We are at the close of this mission. I hope you had fun. So wrap up what you want. My next post will put us at Earth unless the Captain does it sooner. By this weekend, we start our next mission, I hope you enjoy that one.
