Welcome to Hel

[Jack Ryder]

"Well that... is kind of how we were able to conceive our twins... I introduced a custom virus that kept her immune system from rejecting me... she was sick for a few days but... she managed to conceive. But her sister and my nephew... apparently didn't need anything. Came from years of contact together, although I do suspect it also has something to do with the Terran side living on Xenex long enough." Jack replied. "Of course, I and my nephew aren't exactly the best subjects as my father has augment DNA that passed down to us, but... well, Noonian Singh is my Aunt Natalia's husband now and he's been working with her bio-med division. I'm pretty sure AlphaTek could use a good geneticist."

"You two do realize we have to get out of here first..." Kirby said and laid back on her cot. "My career in Intel is probably over... who would trust a spy that spent years as a prisoner? Could always open a bar... is Harry still running that spy bar?"

"Yeah... we still run ops out of his basement now and again." Jack replied.

"Basement? So he did listen to us and moved to the surface... good for him. That means I can take over his old spot on Byron." Kirby rubbed her hands

"It's an Applebee's now..." Jack said with a wince.

"Won't be for long..." she shook her head. "You're kidding me... right? Federation fell and they are STILL around?"

"Beats Outback Steakhouse..." Jack shrugged his shoulders.

"Anything beats them... fake Aussies." Kirby muttered. "Hey out of curiousity is the Queen is still alive?"

"Living on Archer 3." Jack replied. "Whole royal family moved there. Prince Tom is still on Earth as a kind of... representative. Emperor Kaikoa did say it was okay for them to move back."

Ashley shrugged, "This is all good and well, but we aren't getting off this station. They don't even really guard us. Especially after a while. Where would we go? Space is bloody cold, and hard to breathe. If the pain gets too bad I can probably help you end that if you want. That's the only way any of us are getting off this station."

[Jack Ryder]

"Well color me a bit more optimistic ladies." Jack replied. "And I can handle quite a lot... besides, this portal technology intrigues me. Similar phenomena to Rafe's Rifts have cropped up all over. It would be nice to figure out a way to actually go to some of these other realities and back again, possibly return some people or bring others through." he cocked his head. "Or assemble a fighting force to end Dominus' hold."

[Ashley Walker]

She shrugged, "In theory, but are his goons going to stand there watching you experiment?" She laughed, "You be better off taking a stroll outside without an EV suit."

[Jack Ryder]

"My dear Leftenant Walker... doing things under people's noses is our speciality..." Jack said with a grin. "My sister and law and I were both what was once known as Section 31."

[Ashley Walker]

"Section what?" She shook her head, "Never mind, I don't want to know. What can I do?"

[Black ANGEL Alpha]

"Well once upon a time we were 'those that shall not be named' and 'them' or 'they'... Men in Black type stuff. Myths, shadows. Then some bloody focking dingos had to 'out' the agency and we became part of Starfleet Intelligence. Which is hilarious. Now I was part of an elite squad that Jack's father and my father originally formed to do... off the books, yet sanctioned operations. Black Angels. I know it sounds fanciful, but it stood for Agents Now Granted Extraordinary License. We could go in and take out a political leader, if we succeeded then we got the credit, or rather the Agency got the credit and if we didn't... we were rogue operators or mercs or whatever line of BS the powers that be decided on." Kirby explained. "I suppose since Jack is here, I've actually got back up now, which I didn't really have."

"Did you seriously call them 'focking dingos?" Jack chuckled.

"Shut up." Kirby rolled her eyes. "I'm exhausted and punchy and I've had to pretend to be English for Dominus... I think he wanted to 'do' your father's new wife. Is she seriously our age?"

"Younger." Jack winced.

"Hmph... well your dad could be immature at times. Shame about Lothar, they would have made such a nice couple, but... I doubt she'd be so beloved like you've said Alice is." Kirby tapped her chin. "I wonder... why DID he take you anyway? Usually he rarely leaves with just one 'target', especially if he took a whole force with him."

"I think he wants me to replace my counterpart, Jackson Lei..." Jack said and sighed. "Or he needs him to run his science experiments, this cloning operation, sounds like what Jackson had set up on his Omega base. I'm sure he won't make it easy and I'm pretty sure he knows I am going to try and escape or do something, but... I have to try. At least until rescue arrives." he turned to Walker. "You said they barely guard us... can you get me a map of the station?"

[Ashley Walker]

She shrugged, "Sure. They'll be watching me less than you I suspect. I can get them to you tonight. I have to stay up late cleaning up after the bastards."

[Jack Ryder]

"Good, the more information we have, the better we can formulate away off this place. It's giving me a bloody headache so many evil thoughts in here." Jack said as he rubbed his temples. "I can see why you both have lost the will to fight... it's psychically oppressive here."

[Ashley Walker]

"If you are intent on getting yourself killed who am I to argue?" She settled onto the floor long used to the discomfort, and closed her eyes un-sleeping.
