As the shipboard sensors watched, a certain swaggering female woodlouse
wandered into the brig area of the Obsidian Claw. Once through, armored
blast doors slammed shut across all corridors. Knockout gas started pouring
out of the ventilation system. And as a clincher, all the riot-field projectors
still operational in the detentio block activated. The riot-field projectors,
hanging from the ceiling corners, enveloped the room in a crossfire of
flashing blue circles, each one centered on a lifesign signature. The tactic
would have immobilized everyone there except TDK. However, the creature
which now replaced him.. was not undead. It too slumped, then passed out.
Marissa, slowed down and disorented by the gas, was cought in the focus
of multiple projection fields and stun-blasted to mental oblivion, as were
DC and Scorpion. The female woodlouse out in the corridors however, being
of a slightly different biochemistry, was less affected by the gas. Pounding
on a blast door, it obediently opened... And she was face to face with
a shielded Droideka. It didn't phase her in the least. Throwing herself
face down to the floor, she evaded it's stun blasts. Then, with a spasmodic
thrust from all 6 powerful legs, she hurled herself armored-back carapace
first against the droid. Against any other living opponent, the powerful
impact would have been a killing blow. Against the shielded droid, it merely
rocked it back by several paces. Reacting with machine-speed, it unleashed
double-barreled stun blasts at point blank range. And Stuffy crashed to
the floor, snoring. Stormtroopers poured in and injected slaver capsules
into all of them. The capsules were miniature remote controlled thermal
detonators, used to control prisoners. They wandered through the bloodstream
and lodged within the prisoner's brain. The technology was illegally used
by some outer rim systems to control slaves. Each one was a bomb, set to
detonate when disturbed or at a certain time interval, with the timer reset
moments before detonation by a changing coded signal from the Detention
Block supervisor. The prisoners were dragged out and placed into individual
holding cells for later disposition. In the meantime, the injured and salvageable
dead were hustled to the infirmary for emergency medical treatment.

*Cheesybean strode into the detention block area, with a newly arrived
guard of the Dukes Special Marines. First he walked up to Stuffys cell*
Right... WHO ARE YOU!? *Stuffy is frantic, looking for a way out, then
stops and speaks "I'm Stuffy! Let me out, I have an evil to fight!"* Yes
yes, I know. Most teenage girls feel that way, but that doesent excuse
your actions, you've been a very bad girl. *"Dont talk to me like that!
Lemme out, I need to fight the evil one!"* OK, We'll get back to you...
*Cheesybean tells the nearby guards to keep an eye on her and maybe have
her sent in for counciling. He then walks down to the cell marked "TDK"*
Ah TDK, now you kn.... hang on, where is TDK?! *The figure responds "TDK
isent real! How did I get here, whats going on?!"* Erm... TDK _IS_ real,
I've seen and talked to him. I've even had the misfortune to make pysical
contact with him! *"Bu...bu... but I just made him up!"* Dont be silly!
*Cheesybean tells the guards to keep an eye on this one as well, and also
says that counciling might be a good idea for him. Cheesybean then walks
down to DC and Scorpion, presently sitting in the same cell and miserable
without their weapons. They suddenly recognise Cheesybean and run to the
door hole banging their heads against each other "Cheesybean, its you!
You've come to free us right?" Cheesybean leans closer to them and wispers*
Actually... officialy we dont know each other... *They suddenly look miserable
again* However, I'll make sure they dont kill you and as long as you dont
hurt anything you can take a woodlouse shuttle someplace safe... for us.
*The two, containing their anger nod and sit back down. Cheesybean tells
the guards to just keep them there until he talks the situation over with
Alexei. Cheesybean looks at the other female human, she is still unconcious
and so Cheesybean decides to leave her for now...*

*TDK sat there. He was confused out of his undead mind. One minute
he was in his tank trying to stop a fight, and the next minute he was here,
in what looked like a human bedroom, staring at a monitor with a lot of
purple text on it spelling out exactly what had just happened in the brig.
It was confusing alright. But that wasn't his primary concern. First he
needed to get rid of that annoying Human music that was playing.....*

...He sighs, double problem. Posters talking about LurkerSpace,
and worse yet, begging a ride. The council would flay him if they knew
he was even asked... Of course, But, it will take some time. ...What would
they do to him if they knew? He didn't even dare to think about it. He
pulls out a small communication device, and sends a message to his ship.
Moments later it's very close, almost touching the hull of the Far Star...
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. ...The LurkerShip rams The

*Cheesybean goes to the bridge of the Obsidian Claw, he spots Alexei
standing next to the forward view screen talking to some officers. As Cheesybean
aproaches Alexei waves away his aides* Alexei, I have talked to the prisoners
and have come to the conclusion that the woodlouse girl is insane and should
be treated. TDK appears to be replaced with a fully alive and weird Hoo-Man,
you should perhaps have him treated for his insanity. The two people who
where with TDK seem to be fine, I think you should put them in a shuttle
and send them somewhere...away from us. The Hoo-Man girl is a mystery,
I dont know who she is or why she is here... probably just some normal
stowaway fresh out of a Star Trek convention...
