Still Right Here

[Jack Ryder]

"Distract them." Jack said casually. "Give them something to keep them occupied, you aren't going to be hanging around this system so any numbers that they have here won't be what you're actually packing." he gestured with his hand. Just then a fight broke out between some of the Acolytes and the Brethren on the bridge. "And I would say that's a good enough distraction..." he pointed to them and shoved Dominus out of the way of a phaser blast. "Don't ever say I didn't do anything for you." he said and gestured with his hand and a portal opened up. "Kinsey my love... " he took her hand and jumped into the portal that closed up behind them. It was something he had been working on for years, but couldn't figure out, but now... with his increased mental abilities and building a small projector into his palm, he managed to make a 'quick escape' portal.

Arriving a deck below, Jack kissed Kinsey on the cheek. ~Chaos time. I'll manipulate some of the Brethren ships to start turning on the others. Let Cross and whoever he's with get involved in a nice firefight to cover our escape. Make it look like we're helping Dominus... but we're just amping up the hate that's already here. Powder keg... goes boom.~

[Kinsey Calhoun]

~We’ll need to be careful of Bellatrix.~ Kinsey warned as they ducked weapons fire as more Brethren opened fire on the Acolytes. ~Seems word is spreading already. You my love are a genius.~

[Jack Ryder]

~ Super genius now. Ophelia's little... can that she put me in, all the lifetimes I lived mentally all the ways I experimented virtually, it paid off... seems all this evolved us both. We are now probably the two most dangerous bipedal lifeforms in the galaxy. BUT... a disruptor will end both of us just as quickly and I haven't had a chance to really set up back ups for us... ~ Jack replied as they ran through the corridors. ~ This ship is massive... remind me to use site to site doorway transporters on our next ship.~ He mentally concentrated on not getting hit, predicting where weapons fire would be, using his telepathy to control a few Brethren and Acolytes into focusing on each other instead of them. "I hate to do this to other versions of us... but I'm going to have a few alts run around the ship while we get out, if they're as smart as we are, they'll find their way off when we do."

[Kinsey Calhoun]

“They’ll make it.” Kinsey said as she redirected weapons fire coming towards them at an Acolyte. “Make sure you tell them how to get back.”

[Jack Ryder]

"Of course luv... they are us after all." Jack said as he looked around. "We should probably make sure the prisoners that Dominus took are let out and given a chance. Bellatrix really messed up Mattis, might need to use some LMD-Borg tech to repair the damage." he whispered as he sent an acolyte screaming at a Brethren and watched them both burst into flames. "Bloody hell how many Brethren did Dominus keep on this baseship?"

Meanwhile on the Bridge --

"Dammit all... " Dominus muttered as he used his electrokinesis to fry some of the Brethren and inept Acoyltes and Goons that were fighting and damaging consoles. "I probably should have removed all the Brethren on the baseship before we blew up their planets..." he chuckled and used his kilden to cut one of them in two. "Although damn this feels good." he sliced the head off another and iljuna pushed one of them toward a wall and saw him crumple into a flatter version of himself. "That's new?"

"That's why I studied Kinsey." Ophelia said as she clenched her fist and crushed the Brethren soldier. "She's drawing from a power that is similar yet not quite the Iljuna in addition to it. I think she's far more alien than she even realizes she is." she pulled the head off a brethren and used the explosion of his suit to immolate another soldier. "And why I did what I did to Jack." he controlled two of the Acoylytes into fighting as a pair to defeat a group of Brethren. "But yes father this was stupid to have so many here... Mother, I hope you spanked him well when you were making my... sister." she grimaced. "Is this not enough for you?" she gestured with both hands and crushed three Brethren soldiers into a pulp.

Meanwhile --

Jack smiled. "Ohhh Ophelia's feeling jealous... the green eyed monster is out of her cage, but she's learned from us dear. She's ripping and crushing Brethren."

[Kinsey Calhoun]

“Good,” Kinsey said bitterly as she took out a hallway full of Brethren in a wave of kinetic energy. With the hallway clear she focused her mind on the cells aboard and forced the doors open. “Now Dominus has something else to worry about. Now let’s get the hell out of here.”

[Clint Cross]

Aboard the TAS Viper --

Tali's eyes shot open and looked at Clint. "Grozit! All hell is breaking lose aboard that ship. AHH!" she gasped and winced. "Brethren... the Brethren are attacking the Ajem? Oh my... now I know what planets they were destroying! They were destroying the Brethren's homeworld and colonies. They... they were wiping out their entire race."

"Whoa... so uhm... genocide huh?" Clint said as he motioned to JT to get in closer and prepare for battle.

"Pretty much... the only Brethren left alive are what ever are on their ships..." Tali said just before two of their ships blew up.

"EVASIVE MANEUVERS!" Clint shouted as the shockwaves came right at them.

JT dove for the helm and pushed the helmsman out of the way. "Sorry, but i know how to do this better..." he said and put the ship on a course that would let it ride out the wave, but opened up the bussard collectors to take in as much energy as it could from the shockwave. Then punched the warp engines toward Dominus' baseships. "There... that's how you ride out an exploding starship... I picked up a few things."

"Mac, I want to have his babies." Tali said as she pulled the hair out of her face and shook her head. "That was insane and it worked!"

"Let's not celebrate just yet... there's a whole fleet of Ajem and Brethren ships and Scion ships all fighting each other." Clint said and looked at Mac. "Try to lock onto your parents and anyone else... Mattis, Sandoval whoever..."

[Mac Calhoun]

“Already working on it.” Mac said as her fingers flew over the console. “And Tali he’s mine. If anyone’s having his babies, it’s me.”

Mac pressed a few more keys on her console as the ship rocked back and forth. JT moving them through debris and weapons fire.

“Dominus’ shields are still up but I’ve got a lock on Jack and Kinsey and our people.” Mac informed him. "We just need his shields down."

[JT Kirk]

"We'll find an opening..." JT said as he monitored the cloaking field. "That shockwave rippled our cloak, we may have been detected." he glanced at Tali. "Might want to get ready to shoot anything that moves toward us."

[Mac Calhoun]

“Looks like we might have incoming.” Mac said as she picked up a Brethren ship moving towards them. Then an idea occurred to her. “JT what do you think one of those shockwaves would do to Dominus' ship?”
