Mission:
Flux
Location: Flux
Timeline: 1.1 Million Years Ago
Kronnelti and Mira reached the pad patiently waiting to return back to the other side, the streets are starting to fill with Angry locals.
" How dare you take her away from us" one yelled
Another yelled " drink the water and everything will be fine"
Slowly closing in Kronnelti and Mira's chances of survival is slimming down, he looks at her and says we have a 50/50 chance we return to Kevin as he pulls her in closer.
His phaser is slowly starting to lose its charge as he can't keep up.
"I would rather died then live a life with no memories. Each day blending into the next without the people I love." Mira told him as she dropped to one knee.
An older man came up to the pad. Yelling that everyone should shut up, leave the visitors alone.
He blinked down at the couple. "The water has a cure for this. Just one sip, and you two would live."
"And forget I have a child or a life outside of this place?" Mira asked him.
"That doesn't work that way on us, but many people have the same opinion that living captive isn't really living."
pay' jIH 'e' vItlhutlhlaHbe' jIH. ( I'd rather die than drink that poison) said Kronnelti
As he coughs more blood up.
I really hope Kevin has a plan to get us back
Kronnelti's breathing gets harder as he drops to one knee, captain I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out he said.
She looks at him, no you are going to survive this. Your wife is pregnant bearing child and you need to be there for them said Mira.
He pulls the canteen out and takes a swig but it doesn't really do anything. He then forces himself up to try and maintain stability but it's not working as he drops again.
A little girl named Lacey walks up to them and says " please drink this as it will save you " she said
Kronnelti just shakes his head no, little girl I'm a klingon. My race is a warriors race and if we are on the brink of death we welcome it.
He gets up one last time just to stumble off the pad leaving Mira on it.
He turns around and looks at her. He smiles then drops.
Mira screams in horror and runs to his side. Y you can't die here as she's crying, he motions her to come closer. As she gets close he puts a finger over her lips to shush her.
" Coughing " h have Zimia move in with d d Dianna, I'm not going to make it back to the ship " coughing up blood"
I I sure hope Ke ke Kevin finds a wa way to bring you back " coughing while gasping for air "
As he tries to finish what he says Kronnelti takes his last breath.
Mira let's out an ear piercing scream then starts pounding Kronnelti's chest.
You will not die on me, blow after blow she somehow bought him some time bringing him back but for how long.
"Don't you do this to Dianna she will spend her whole life wondering why she wasn't good enough for you to live for her and your child!" Mira yelled.
Just then, a few men rushed forward, pulling her off Kronnelti. Then, one of them pressed something to his neck. "Sorry, this truly is for the best."
"No," Mira felt a slight sting to her neck. then her vision got blurry.
"Take them to medical." was the last thing she heard before she fell asleep.
Startled Mira sat up quietly. Maybe too quickly because the room was spinning now. She had expected to be in a hospital room, but nope, they were in a cell. Kronnelti had been shooting up the place, so she didn't really blame them, but that wasn't helping her little problem about being locked up.
"Don't panic, don't panic," she told herself. Looking over at the other cot, Mira grinned. Kronnelti was laying on what looked like 2 cots they had put together, but he didn't look comfortable.
Getting up, she stumbled over to him and checked his pulse. He was a live.
OK, next step look for a way out. Mira told herself. After checking every bar and the floor, Mira frowned in defeat. There wasn't a way out. Yet. She would find one.
A few hours pass and Kronnelti eventually woke up sore and tired. He looked up and saw Mira pacing around.
Who are you and why am I here? He asked.
"My name is Captain Mira Rodale of the USS Chuck Norris. You are Lieutenant Awal Kronnelti of the USS Chuck Norris. You're my head of security and my adoptive brother. That much has come back to me. You came to rescue me, but we both got sick and then taken as prisoners. Guess they did like your shoot the place up as you tried to escape with me plan."
She pulled on the door again. " You have a wife and a baby on the way, they need you." she smacked the bars. "I hate being locked up!"
She could see their equipment on the table across the room.
I have a wife and child on the way he said confusedingly.
He got up, he felt a stinging sensation on his neck as he touched it.
After touching it he started experiencing a migraine, with a very loud war cry forcing Mira to cover her ears he walked up to the bars and started to slowly bend them creating an opening.
Mira winced as she covered her ears.
There was no way the people holding them wouldn't hear that noise. She was surprised that he was bending the bars. "Brother, do not make so much noise they will get us again." And maybe this time, they would both not remember anything.
After bending the bars Kronnelti then walks across and picks up their equipment. He also sees the water.
He devizes a plan. Captain do as I do, he takes the cup pours the water into it.
He finds a straw then cuts it placing a piece of to the side of his mouth.
He takes a swig but instead of swallowing it the water trickles down the straw out of his mouth.
After she sees this she asks then what?
Act like you did when you first drank it.
He gives her the straw and cup. She does the same.
He walks back into the cell bending the bars back like nothing had happened and laid back down pretending to be out.
Well, acting confused wasn't going to be a problem. She had no idea what that had been all about. At least she knew if they had to get out of the bars, he could do it. That made her relax a little. Mira took a seat on her cot and started to meditate hoping to calm down.
