It was obvious now what had happened. The foreign consciousness
had, instead of fighting the null psi field, taken the simple expedient
of nullifying the computer, taking the field with it. Not good, Mel thought,
as he decided to wing it. 'Elisia,' he said, acting as if nothing were
amiss, 'Get the computer back online. We're under attack!' This seemed
to shake 'Elisia'. Shrugging off the confusion of her new body, Jadesfire,
using her rapidly assimillating knowledge of this ship and functioning,
put her hands on the interfaces and began their escape...

'Warning, alien craft. You will stand down your escape and prepare
to be boarded. Our scans show you have no weapons, so it is obvious who
has the upper hand. Give up, or be destroyed...'

Jadesfire let the girl's superior knowledge of the ship take control,
manifesting herself as only a warning presence in her mind warning Elisia
not to try anything funny...

TO the girls suprise, although Jadesfire's anger surged at the voice,
she made no move to attempt to regain control, only watching, for now...

Elisia was afraid. Jadesfire had completely usurped her mind to
rise up, and stand, but then let her have control. Without words, it was
obvious what was happening, Jadesfire didn't know enough about the vessel
to do anything effective, so Elisia was being held 'hostage' if you will.
Data for freedom, or whatever measure of such Jadesfire would mete out
to her. The subtle look Mel was giving her indicated that he knew the same
thing, and was just playing along until he knew the capabilities of this...
radically modified psyche...

In Elisia's body, something new was happening. Under the conscious
direction of Jadesfire, the joined systems of the Force and Nanotech assessed
this new body. It would be adequate, it would be powerful. Once settled
in, it would be invincible. A deathly chuckle emanated through Elisia's
brain, frightening her...

This is not good. Open a channel to anyone in the EDA who has some
authority! *Skeleton #5: "Aknowledged. The highest person available on
the command chain is Savannah. Hailing her now, Master TDK."* Good. In
the meantime we need to cause some trouble to one of those Warbirds. Think
up some way we can cause some serious damage with what we have. *Skeleton
#6: "Yes, Sir." Skeleton #5: "We have opened a channel"* On screen. *Savannah's
image appears on the viewscreen.* Savannah, bad news, and you're gonna
have to be the messenger. Jades is undead. Tell everyone to get on their
guard. Regardless of how bad their hangover it.

And while you're at it hire a hit man to go bump off the Typo Daemon.

However, trouble was to come to the Bird of Prey, rather than the
warbird. Tired of the game, Erisai imploded one of the BoP's engines...
