Mission: The Game is Afoot
Location: Starbase 10, U.S.S. Chuck Norris
Timeline: Current

OFF: AN IMMEDIATE HARD TURN!! I love it.

ON: (Starbase 10 - Observation Lounge)

Aurther's hands gripped the rail as he leaned into the window, his eyes seeming to watch in complete disbelief as he saw the last umbilical cord detach from the Chuck Norris. Her lights started to power on slowly as the blue of the engines and the red of the impulse started to come to life. Quickly his hand tapped his Comm badge.

"Winters to Chuck Norris", Aurther waited and receive no answer. "Winters to Pibb." Again, nothing but silence was set back. "Winters to Borġ!" His voice now raised with a slight amount of anger and frustration. He knew the communication was working and the lack of response was infuriating.

(U.S.S. Chuck Norris - Transporter Room)

"Well what are your orders sir?" Ensign Pibb insisted to Captain vonMcCormick, this time without the impression of a pirate in hopes that it might speed up his response. vonMcCormick still seemed a little dazed and confused about the whole situation, looking around the transporter room trying to catch his bearings.

"This isn't Starbase 10..." he trailed off.

=/\= Anderson to Pibb! =/\= A tone of worry came out over the Ensigns Comm badge, he tapped it to respond.

"What is it Anderson?"

=/\= The jig is up, quicker than I expected, the Starbase is starting to go into lock down. =/\=

"No time to wait! Get us out of her, max impulse, if we get get caught in space dock this pirate adventure is over!"

=/\= I'm on it! =/\=

"Well I would say there is no going back now." Pibb said looking at Chief Ryoko.

"I think that luxury was gone Ensign, as soon the transporter was activated."

"What's your feeling on this?"

"Not that good", the two men looked back and the Captain, still visibly confused and hoped that what they were doing was work it.

(Starbase 10 - Observation Lounge)

Aurther had almost made his move to head to either the Operations section or a transporter bay, however he was stopped again in his tracks when he saw the Chuck Norris begin to move. The ship started to head backwards and then flipped 180 degrees, missing multiple worker bees and a few other shuttles and started to make a break for the large doors on space station.

=/\= Red Alert... Red Alert... Unauthorized Transport of a prisoner has been detected. U.S.S. Chuck Norris has not been authorized for departure =/\= a female voice called out as klaxon alarms began to ring through the station.

"What have you done...?" Winters said softly, his eyes still on his ship. She darted and obviously had gone to full impulse trying to beat the doors that were already half closed now. His emotions torn apart, knowing that he wanted to ship to get away, but professionally knowing it should be stopped. His heart almost stopped as the Defiant class ship had to go sideways just to make it through the door with seconds to spare. Winters's head fell softly down, now he could hear people yelling and barking out orders, the world started to come back into focus. Everything that had just happened in these few minutes dawned on him, all the actions, and implications and consequences. His head lifted back up as he looked to the ceiling to deal with his thoughts.

"Weeeelllll....fu..."
