Mission: [USS Ottawa] S1, E1: Abducted
Location: Shuttle
Timeline: MD001, 1600 Hrs

Ellie stepped on board the shuttle, she took her seat behind the controls and began the pre-launch sequence. "Jazin, you take the helm." Everything was set to go. "Let's get in and out of there as quickly as possible. I don't want to stay any longer there then is necessary. " She looked cold and determined. She had no time to be emotional right now.

If this was anyone else, anyone but her brother, she would've just let Captain Martinez figure it out himself. But it wasn't, and she had to live up to the promise that she made to her brother.


Jazin took one look at Ellie and said nothing. She was in what he called "full Marine." Which basically meant "let's do this." He worked the helm, as ordered. "Good to go, Colonel." he said. This wasn't the time for familiarity.

Jack had not been on the ship more than an hour when he was called to the shuttle bay for a mission. He had no idea what it was but it did not matter. He had everything he needed with him.
He found the shuttle and stepped in stowing his gear off to one side. He seen the Lt.Col., "Sir, Major Haines reporting." He extended his hand. "If I may ask sir, what is our mission?"


"Major," Began Ellie, "Where are your manners? Any good marine wouldn't dare get on a shuttle and put out their hand to a superior officer. You salute!" She got up and waited for him to salute. When he did she saluted back. "Have a seat major." She sat back in her seat. "This is a rescue mission. Get in, get the target and get out. Commander can you fill him in."

Jack stepped back and saluted. He sat sat down as he listened to Sheppard. "In and out, got it." He looked to the Cmd.

"Long story short, Major." the Trill began. "There's this really mad Gorn Commander whos gone off the reservation. Some kind of vendetta I understand. Anyway. In the course of this hostages were taken. Chiefly the colonels brother. Our job is simple. Get him back."

Ellie looked on her screen as she started the check up for their descent. "Commander, let's get this thing down." She got up and started to get her weapon. "Everyone ready for this?" It was a question, but she had no time to hear for the answer. She though, if you're here, you ready, if not, you shouldn't be here."

While they were on their decent, Jack had gone over their gear. Everything looked in order, so when Ellie asked if everyone was ready for this he gave her a nod. He grabbed his gear and waited for touch down.

As the shuttle landed and opened, Ellie walked out with her rifle on her shoulder and scanned the surrounding area. Everything was all clear. She gave the tricorder to a support marine and then took the rifle. "Move out, Jazin you take point." She ordered. "Don't fire unless fired upon or I say so, is that clear. Attack formation Delta!"

Jack had strapped his snippet rifle to his back and made sure he had his side arm. Carting his rifle he followed Ellie out of the shuttle. He looked around to get a lay of the land. When Ellie ordered Delta formation Jack gave her a nod and moved off to the right.

"Right." he nodded. Jazin leveled his rifle and took up position anhead of the rest of the team. "Peterson, take the rear!" he ordered to his SO as he moved out.

Jazin moved out front. Rifle raised, and head on a swivel. He moved out a few clicks when he heard activity to his right a few yards. He got atop a hill and got his scope.

He spotted a few Gorn on patrol. And a rather big one pointing at a building. "Must be the big cheese." He took a breath. He flashed hand signals.calling Ellie up.

Ellie walked up next to Jazin. She looked at the building. "That must be it. See if you can get us in." She turned to Jack. "Major, get those patrols out, we are getting in."

"Right, Colonel." Jazin said. "And I'll do my best not to be spotted." He chuckled. "Sorry, trill humor" he headed out

Jack had taken the right as they had approached the compound. He had spotted the one set of patrols. There were two Gorn and two Nausicans. It was nice that they were sticking close together. Apparently neither side wanted to be out of the others eyesight. Which made for better targets.

Once they were within sight of the compound Jazin held up his hand flashed a few signals and Ellie moved up. Jack moved closer to be with in ear shot. When he did he spotted the large Gorn and the other patrol. Like the first patrol there were two Nausicans and two Gorn.

When Ellie looked to him and told him to take out the patrols so they could get in he nodded. "Spotted a nice nest a few yards back just on the edge of the hill. Give me 5 and will clear the way. Just don't breath when you pass by, this stuff is pretty potent. When you see the first one drop, go." He padded one of the small ammo pouchs on his side.
Unslinging his sniper rifle he took off back they way they came. It didn't take long for him to find the best and set up. He loaded his gas pellet rounds and quickly took a survey of the area. *One, two, three, four. (looks to the first patrol) Four, three, two, one.* He thought to himself. Coming back around to to the closest patrol he took a deep breath and let it out slowly as he squeezed the trigger.

The shot hit the back of the neck of one of the Gorn. He immediately reached up to feel what hit him, turning towards the two Nausicans and getting out a garbled what the before dropping. As he dropped the other three within a matter of a few seconds dropped as well. That was when the big Horn noticed his men go down. He took a few steps towards the area and got on his coms for the other patrol to come back that they. That was all he got out when two pellets hit him in the back of the head and between his shoulders. He took a couple of quick breaths to keep from inhaling the gas but it was to late. Down he went.

Jack tapped his coms, "First patrol is down, go." He figured that they had seen them drop and when they got to the clearing where the main Gorn was that they seen him go down as well. "I have you covered out here when the second patrol comes back. Won't be a problem."

Ellie made hand signals when she saw the first patrol team went down. She motioned for everyone to move in. She aimed her weapon around a she checked out the area. Jazin close behind her. She looked on her tricorder and then looked at Jazin. She held up 3 fingers indicating there were 3 inside. She did see one human life sign. That must be the colonel.

He nodded, raising his own rifle. He got in position to breach. He readied a flash bang. He threw ii

Bang! It went off. Jazin took out the one closest to him as he took cover. He offered pot shots at others while he waited on the soon to arrive back up.

Phaser bolts connected with Gorn targets as he fired. And one of them got a lucky shot it. Hitting the Trill in the midsection.

Jack watched as the others breached the compound. He moved to get a better shot at the returning patrol. Which was two minutes from when they got the call. As they came through the forest area Jack lit them up. Several pellets hit their targets exploding the gas throughout the area. Out of the four only one made it to the door before he dropped. Jack tapped his coms, "All clear."

As they moved in, they took out several more guards. Ellie then saw the main room. She looked on her tricorder. The were two guards inside and two Nausicans. She could see trough the door opening her brother was in some kind of cage. He appeared to be unconscious. She motioned for Jazin to go in, take out the guards, she would follow to tend for her brother.

Jazin crept in as quietly as he could, rifle at the ready. Using melee tactics he took out one with a sharp blow to the head. A phaser shot got the second.

When she got in his cage she started to scan. He was physically fine, he just was sedated. He had some wounds on his face and there were signs of a fight. But nothing the doctor can't patch up. "Jazin, help me with my brother. We have to get him back to the shuttle." She called as she tried to pull him. She didn't remember he was that heavy. Together with Jazin they dragged him. "Major!" She called.

As Jazin and Jack brought the Colonel in, she started to start up the engines. "Make him comfortable, Major, Commander." As the last marines got on board she closed the shuttle and took off on maximum speed towards the Ottawa.
