Post Details
Tell and the unkown woman arrived at engineering in a run. They had heard a disruptor shot behind them, but no word from HIchop suggested the Captain was still on the loose. There was very little time.
The end was very near, Tell could sense it and tried not to dwell on it. She and the woman were in Tells lab, a small area off engineering that she used for projects. It also housed her weapons, mostly knives but with the odd extras attached. She slipped them into the wrist straps around her arms and then tied the leathers round her hands. She had only just to flick her wrist and the (OOC: Thorin can you put the names of them here please?) would find their target. She looked at the Klingon disrupter on the work top, picked it up and handed it to the woman standing next to her.
"Do you know how to use this?" she asked
The woman shrugged. It looked similar to ones she had seen before, but there had been modifications.
"Simple" she replied "Just aim and pull the trigger. Its set to kill, just don't miss. Anything comes through that door, shoot don't think twice about it. By my reckoning were the only ones left alive anyway.
Tell sighed inwardly she had one last option. She quickly took on last look of the engine room that had been her home here for the last... how many years had it been? She couldn't remember now, to many other things to think about and it didn't matter anyway anymore.
So many memories here and a dear friend, no a sister, that came and went. Leaving her alone and bereft once more, putting on an act that everything was fine, when it wasn't. She last thought of her family, soon she would see them all again and the thought pleased her.
She was going to die today, no doubt about that and what better way to die than to go down fighting to the last. Yes today was a very good day to die.
"I'm going to set the ship to self destruct," Tell told her. "I will begin a recursive cascade of the Deuterium feed. I need you to open the Anti-matter taps over on that panel."
The woman holstered the disruptor and stepped to the panel. There was a slight noise, like tearing of fabric.
There was a sudden rush in her mind. In an instant she saw it all; the ship, the mad plan, the information report, the running fight with the Klingon ship, the jump through the portal, the crash, the capture, the torture, the escape, the recapture, the...
The woman took a step back from the panel and turned.
"I remember," she managed dreamily, as blood flowed freely from a large open wound on her stomach. Her knees gave out and she feel to the floor.
OOC Sarah: Wow. That was quick. How rude.
OOC: Trying to keep the story moving. You haven't actually responded to a post for most of the mission. If you want to change/extend it, we can do so. You just need to let me know ASAP.
Ro' stepped out of the shadows and faced Tell.
"So it has come down to us, you pompous Qu'vatlh" Tell sneers at Ro' while unleashing every weapon from her wrists. "Take that, and that!"
Ro' did not respond to the verbal assault, deflecting the words as easily as he deflected the hurled blades.
"You forget," he growled. "It was I who taught Tell how to fight and use knives. Your attacks are as predictable as hers."
Tell frowned. Why was he talking about her as if she were someone else?
"Computer! Initiate Program Tell 13, now."
There was a series of beeps and Jeeves' voice came back.
-Unable to comply. That program can only be initiated by Tell Hope.-
Tell looked around desperately for another weapon, another thing to throw, "I AM TELL!"
"No," Ro' said, stepping forward and cutting her down in a stroke.
Tell fell to her knees. Her last dying thoughts were for herself and those who had gone before her. "I am...."
