A Test of the Mind

[Salissa t'Vlack]

This is for Deletham

He felt the pain in his hand start, he knew where this came from. His mind filled with rage, and he switched gears to control the rage. This fool had to have his Riov act as his mommy to protect him, became the focus of his angered mind. Time to grow up, he lifted his leg and kicked Terrh as hard as he could in the undamaged leg. Then in rapid succession he stomped on Terrh's foot.

"Reha move closer and make sure there is no more foolishness. t'Vlack will already be upset, I do not want her anger to grow, it will not bode well for us."

[Arrain Terrh Sahen]

He is attemptiong to slowly get back into his chair at the Gonai when he felt a sharp pain in his good leg, on the side of his knee. He crumbled with a grunt and grimace of pain, as he felt his knee nearly separate from it's normal position. He fell to the deck, bouncing off his seat then felt another jab of pain as his foot got stomped before he got settled on the floor. Despite the pain he was in, he glared up at Deletham, wanting to put his necca into the other saehne'a knee, or a bit higher.. "I presume there is much honor in kicking a man when he is injured and already down." He commented, anger and sarcasm quite evident in his tone

[Deletham Tela'us]

He looked down at Terrh raising an eyebrow, "Get up and attend to your post."

He looked around the oria and saw an impression was made and hopefully the nonsense will end now.

OCC: Romulans use suffix to there last names. Children will grow up doing what they can to live up to the expection that it means us - suffix meaning strength

[Arrain Terrh Sahen]

He glared for a few momnets more after he was told to tend to his station then slowly rose so that he could manage to re-gain his seat. Once he was seated, he checked navigational sensors and displays. nothing's changed

[jerrodrenn]

Renn made his way to what the Romulans called the 'Oira'. He had to drub the name 'bridge' out of his vocabulary. He had witnessed the closest thing he had ever seen to a 'showdown' between the two Romulan officer. The Riov confidently defiant, and the Khrien who seemed to be a woman used to breaking the wills of her opponents. He watched the as the struggle continued, only awaiting orders from the winner.

[Deletham Tela'us]

His eyes moved as the new Feddie enter the oria. He hid his dislike for dislike of any feddie being on one of their vessels. But this is what was wanted and needed by the Empire, so he tolerated it.

[Salissa t'Vlack]

Looking at the Riov she raised an eyebrow at the question poised.

"It was no pretense it was as I ordered. I knew you would see it for what it was, it was for your oria crew to see, however it gave a reason for his task to begin as planned."

"Has your communication with the lead colonist ended?"

Salissa walked over to the VP and looked out for a moment. Then turning, "My logic for countering your supposed lawful order. Normally I would laugh in your face, but this time because your so new to the post and have some potential." she walked over to where the Riov stood.

"au, like a few others have been mislead. The others have been dealt with for the most part. Au think destroying the Empire is what is required to move forward. Where is your logic and additionally how did au think you could achieve this?"

[Veralen Sahen]

She witnessed the entire encounter with Deletham and Terrh. After he was shot for challening the Khrein, she hope he would be silent. She wasn't sure why he kicked and then stomped on Terrh's foot but he was TS. They never told you anything unless they wanted to.

Thankfully Terrh went back to his station. He should go to sickbay, but it would not be allowed this was a lesson and she understood that. She made sure Deletham could see she was attending to her duties. She didn't want a similiar encounter as Terrh had.

[Reha Khev]

Hearing Deletham she moved a little closer and got a better view of the oria. Terrh had been a fool and he paid the price. He was lucky that was all that happened. She worked with the TS alot and knew what they could and would do. Her department was under the TS and what she knew of t'Vlack she hoped the Riov would not be as foolish.

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

"You have stated your perspective as I have stated mine and both of us are firm in our convictions. Any further attempts to change that is nothing but a waste of time. Is that sufficiently logical for you, Khrein?" Liordra spoke calmly as she walked around the Tal'Shiar officer and collected the pot, cups and tea pouch that still sat on the small table she and Saren has shared earlier.
"Would you like some fresh tea?" She offered.

As they speak, a dozen colonists including the leader, enter the Oira preceded by a blast of psi energy that renders everyone there unconscious. Those in the office however are unaffected. Additional colonist groups have dispersed and are taking control of Engineering, weapons, Operations and transport accessible areas including the cargo bays. Each colonist is projecting a personal shield so that they can not be touched and standard weapons are rendered useless.

[Arrain Terrh Sahen]

Terrh turned as the TL doors opened and knew something was wrong. Colonists has entered the Oria, unaccompanied by the Daise'Dheno, the Riov or any of the Krein's saehne-a. He started to speak up but his head exploded in pain as he got hit by a psy-energy blast that overwhelmed him, especially coupled with the injuries he sustained "Dheno alerrr.." He managed to get out before he tipped out of his chair, back to the floor, unconscious.

[erei'Riov Saren Zareth]

He stood firmly in the Riov's Office, continuing to listen as the Riov and the Khrein continued their "discussion" of how the Riov is supposedly attempting to disobey orders and attempting to thwart and destroy the Empire. Just on that accusation alone, he decided to speak up, as Liordra walked over to offer the Khrein some tea. The memory of a shared tea with the Riov fresh in his mind "Respectfully speaking, Lhhei" He addressed the Khrein "It is my belief that the Riov is not attempting to destroy the Empire. Her loyalty, devotion and dedication is stronger then even my own." His loyalty to his Riov shown strong in his eyes and demeanor, as strong as the Elements themselves

[Arrain Vrih R'Mor]

He was in the cargobay watching the colonist, as they walked around like nothing was wrong, all of a sudden they all started for the door they weren't behaving violently as they came closer.

"kroiha" (Stop) he called out "Au need to be escorted" they raised their rifles when they didn't stop "kroiha"
he calls out again but they keep coming " ie'yyak'hnah" (Fire Phasers) he orders and the dheno fire, the disruptor's beams are absorbed.

Pulling his Blade he attacks but the blades are of no use either, "Containment field now" he orders, a filed goes around the Cargobay.

The Dheno starts grabbing and shoving the colonist back a large group phase out threw the door and wall, a few seconds letter he hears Terrh call Dheno and start to say something else before their was silence, hitting his com badge "mneani'nhyrh mneani'nhyrh" (Red alert red alert) he yells but as no alert is sounded he realizes their on the oria.

Hitting his Com Badge again he calls the SubCommander Rekkhai the colonist have left the cargobay I lost contact to the oria" he reports.

[erei'Riov Saren Zareth]

He was waiting for the Khrein to answer his defense of his Riov when he heard his communication device came to life. The Daise'Dheno reporting the colonists have left the cargo bay, and also he has lost contact with the Oria "Fvadt!" he cursed low. With a quick and final glance to the Riov and the Khrein he turned and issued an order Pursue and detain them." He said with cool authority

He started to go out to investigate the Oria but then changed his mind. He turned back to the Khrein and Riov "Lhhei-a, It seems we have a Dheno situation. The Colonists have left from the Cargo bay unescorted. The Daise'Dheno also reports he has lost contact with the Oria."

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

"I see." She said simply before stepping to open the door and walking out onto the Oira.

The lead colonist smiled at her. "We are pleased you could join us here as we complete our journey. The Iruhe have long awaited our arrival"

"The Iruhe?" Liordra seemed confused. Her brow creased as she tried to remember something. "The Iruhe?" She repeated. "Why are they waiting?"

"It was they who assisted us in manifesting our greatest potential, then asked that we come and join with them. In doing so, we will become beings like themselves, infinitely powerful."

She closed her eyes and concentrated. "The Iruhe do not give, they take. But this was many thousands of years ago. Their presence has not been felt since the earliest days of our people. You 'must' not go. The promises they made to you are false." For a moment Liordra saw clearly the path they had led her down, paved with promises of glory in the completion of this service to the Empire, then the powers that held her reasserted themselves. "But perhaps I am wrong. They wish peace now and have communicated that wish through you. You will become the ambassadors of their good will."
