After the first response to our distress beacon, from Commodore Hernandez (@Commodore_Erika), turned out to be the result of cross-temporal miscommunication, we received what turned out to be a legitimate hail, from a vessel claiming the registry 'ISS Necrose,' captained by one Z'Crex (@ZCrex). We would later find out that its claim to an ISS registry is... spurious, at best, as the Warcat... excuse me, the Caitian captain is no Imperial officer, but a mercenary.
As the Necrose was still en route, a Galor-class Cardassian battle cruiser dropped out of warp, identifying itself as Aldara. H'Ress (@MU_HRess), Cypher (@MU_Cypher), and myself were beamed over, leaving Death Angel behind. The fresh air aboard the Aldara was a gift from Sivar, because we were all about to pass out - the air on Yosemite had gotten incredibly stale. The Cardassians attempted to forcibly escort us down to their medical quarters for experiments, claiming to have "never seen our ilk before." Cypher and H'Ress were sedated, but before I could be injected, I...
... my neglect in obtaining my CKF supplements from H'Ress proved useful. I fell into a rage, reinvigorated as I was by being able to breathe again, and overpowered our captors. Taking one of their disruptor rifles and setting it to overload, I transported it to what I assumed to be the engine room, then slung H'Ress and Cypher over my back and, with two more rifles, fought my way out of the transporter room. Z'Crex met me in the corridor, and we fought our way back to the shuttlebay, where he had a shuttlecraft waiting. He told me he had recovered our ship, and flew us back to the Necrose.
While Z'Crex finished off the Cardassians, I tended to Death Angel. Did all I could for hir... but shi really needs proper medical attention. Our host brought us some food, which we started to eat, begin to ask about each other. This is when he revealed to me that he's a mercenary... then, after he noticed my MACO patch, he apparently began swearing at me in Caitian. I couldn't understand a word of it, though H'Ress was able to explain that he seemed to have some hatred of Chakamil in general... why he didn't make the connection of what I am before seeing the MACO patch, I have no idea.
The two of them went off to talk alone. I was left with a disruptor turret pointed at me, for several minutes before he finally deactivated the damn thing, at which point I went back into the Yosemite to retrieve my swords and a rifle, and maybe see if I couldn't jury-rig something to get it running again. H'Ress came back to fetch a medical tricorder, and told me Z'Crex was dying, which wouldn't look good if we were here with him dead when his superiors showed up. No shit. She went off to treat him... I stayed here to record this log entry. I still don't know everything they talked about... if I learn more, guess I'll record a supplement.
End long entry.
