Episode 3: The Spy
Engineering was in it's usual busy self, Tails was helping Nokame help work on the Warp Core, the warp core seemed to lock up for no reason at all. With some wire rearranging, Tails was able to fix it.
"There you go! Good as new!" Tails said while beaming.
"Jolly good, I do suppose I have lacked in my Engineering skills lately….headaches from all this work" Nokame replied.
"You'll cope, *sigh* one to beam up ARK2" Tails replied, disappearing in a sapphire blue light.
Nokame turned to Cloud, who was pressing random buttons.
"Cloud! See if you can reconfigure the Holo-Emitters in Holodeck 1…Kat and Flip burned them out last week" Nokame ordered.
Cloud grunted and spoke:
"Aye sir"
Meanwhile on the Bridge…
"No sir…the Holo-Emitters in Holodeck 1 are still offline." Luigi said to Rahn.
"Damnit…anyway we can transfer power from the other Holodecks?" Rahn asked.
"Not without burning out that Holodeck's emitters no" Luigi explained.
Rahn sighed…and sat down in his chair in the middle of three, C-4 was sitting in the one on the left, and Julee was sitting in the one on the right.
"C-4…remind me to send Kat and Flip to waste recycling next time" Rahn said.
Just then, a gold ship, in the shape of a Hedgehog, was floating towards the World Beyonder.
"Captain…that ship out there is hailing us, he wants to make peace with us" Luigi explained.
"On screen" Rahn ordered, getting from his chair.
A black Hedgehog with a uniform that looked similar to the World Beyonder Crew Uniforms, but black and gold appeared on the viewscreen….it was Jerec…upon seeing Jerec, Rahn's smile at the viewscreen immediately turned into a frown.
"Captain…how glad I am to see you again" Jerec stated grinning.
"Jerec…what brings you to these parts?" Rahn asked.
"Permission to come aboard your ship, I wish to negotiate." Jerec said.
Rahn sighed and turned to Calli and nodded his head, Calli pressed a few buttons on her console and a sapphire blue light appeared in the middle of the Bridge…once it cleared, Jerec came into view, Jerec looked around, upon seeing Julee, him and Julee stared at each other, eventually Rahn spoke.
"Okay…Jerec would you please make your way to the conference room please?" Rahn asked.
Jerec ignored Rahn, until Rahn grabbed him by the neck and dragged him into the conference room.
Jerec sat at the bottom seat of the table…while Rahn sat at the top seat, Calli sat at the top left, C-4 sat at the top right, Leon sat in the middle left once he arrived, Luigi sat in the middle right, Doc sat in the bottom left seat once he arrived, and Julee sat in the bottom right seat, while Kat and Flip sat at a coffee table with Yoli once they arrived.
"So Jerec…we've been enemies for months, what's with the sudden change of heart?" Rahn asked.
"Well…I decided that it's pointless to do that, as I will never get the chance to kill you. So I decided to join your crew" Jerec said in a hurried but believable voice.
A voice was heard in Jerec's head.
"Yessss…" It said in a hollow and mechanic voice, but the crew could not hear the voice.
"I see….well….you'll be added to the crewmen for now, for at least 2 days, until then Jerec you are dismissed" Rahn stated.
Jerec nodded, got up from his seat and walked out the door.
"Now…Leon I want you to place a security team surveying his every move." Rahn ordered.
"Aye sir….shall we shoot him if he pulls anything funny?" Leon asked.
"Yeah…do that, and C-4, watch him on Deck 3…I don't want him pulling anything funny like trashing my quarters" Rahn ordered C-4
"Aye sir…" C-4 stated
"And Kat…I want you to serve our guest well with food until we can figure out what he's up to, no questions asked, and don't try to poison him" Rahn said to Kat.
Kat nodded, so did Flip.
"Okay then…dismissed" Rahn stated.
The Crew left their chairs and out onto the bridge, only C-4 and Rahn remained.
"Some of the crew might not be comfortable about having your evil brother aboard" C-4 stated.
"You're right…we should watch him and see if he pulls anything funny, oh and tell the crew Jerec's ship is off limits."
Later in Julee's quarters,
Julee was relaxing, and writing out a counselor's report, when her doorbell rang.
"Come in" She stated.
Jerec was at the door.
"Jerec…umm what brings you here then?" Julee asked, trying to keep up a smile.
"I could use some counseling" Jerec stated, walking into the quarters and sitting next to Julee.
"Oh? What about?" Julee asked.
"I don't see why you, a remarkable young girl rabbit is working on this ship" Jerec said.
"That's not a counseling subject" Julee said.
"I see…well I should go" Jerec stated, giving Julee a hug and a kiss on the cheek, then walked out.
Later aboard Jerec's ship…
Jerec walked into his quarters, a regeneration alcove was there, he took an device and fitted it onto his neck, he switched it on, he stepped into the alcove and fell into stasis.
"I have negotiated with the crew…" Jerec stated within his mind.
"Good….now…bring me the weakness for the ship…" A deep voice stated in Jerec's head.
Julee beamed aboard the ship.
Jerec immediately snapped out of his Stasis mode and confronted her.
"What are you doing here?" Jerec asked.
"I wish to speak with you…about what happened, you said you wanted Counseling?" Julee stated
"Oh I believe I want more then that…you see, I love you" Jerec replied.
3 days later…aboard the World Beyonder
"Captain's log….stardate 1608.03, Jerec has seemed alright for the most part, he's been hitting on Julee, and it seems Julee is constantly visiting Jerec's ship a lot recently …I'll have to tell her to break this visiting off …Julee is on her way to my office now" Rahn said into his computer log.
Julee walked in.
"You asked me to see me Captain?" Julee asked.
"Yes…I hear from Leon you've been going into Jerec's ship a lot when I said it was off limits, why?" Rahn asked.
"Well…he asked if I could council him and so, I arranged therapy sessions every now and again" Julee replied.
"Why do I think that's complete bull?" Rahn asked.
"Alright…he loves me, and to be honest I love him" Julee stated, covering her mouth upon saying that.
"Julee…I want you to call off this relationship, don't bother to ask why." Rahn explained simply.
"Why Captain?!" Julee asked, starting to get angry.
"Because simply…I do not want you to be having a relationship with one of my enemies" Rahn explained again.
"YOU JERK! JEREC'S A GOOD GUY ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW HIM!" Julee yelled.
"..Try that again and I'll throw you in the brig.." Rahn stated.
"ARG!!" Julee screamed, walking out of the ready room.
Rahn simply sighed.
Jerec was waiting in the turbolift once Julee got in it.
"How did it go?" Jerec asked
"Awful…" Julee said.
"Tell ya what…" Jerec whispered in her ear, as he begun explaining a plan
Later in Engineering…
Julee ran to Enginneering.
"Help…the replicator in my quarters is malfunctioning" Julee explained, causing Nokame and Cloud and the rest of the Engineering staff to run out of engineering to her quarters.
Julee disappeared in a orange light, Jerec entered engineering.
"Good…she's caused the diversion…" Jerec muttered
He was scouting around Engineering; he was looking at the various computer consoles, until he came to the one where it displayed the World Beyonder's shield frequencies.
"Yes…904.5…of course!" Jerec said, he pressed a button on his hat and something started transmitting, Jax appeared.
"What do you want?" Jerec asked.
"You aren't supposed to be here." Jax said.
Jerec grabbed Jax by the neck, and made his way to one of the airlock passageways in engineering, he held onto a rail and pressed a few buttons, the airlock door opened and Jerec let go of Jax, causing him to fly out of the airlock.
Jerec shut the airlock door and disappeared in an orange light.
Meanwhile on a Borg Cube…
Bell and Haley, in their assimilated Borg forms, receive Jerec's transmission.
"Transmitting data to tactical…" Bell stated in a robotic voice.
"Good…now watch and learn" Haley said as she turned to a console, she began speaking.
"Robotnik…begin launching troops"
Back aboard the World Beyonder Bridge…
"Captain, I'm detecting 6 Vessels coming behind us, they are not responding to hails." Luigi stated.
"Red Alert, evasive manuvers, Klim and Lynx" Rahn ordered as the ship darkened and red lights were everywhere.
"Captain…I can't find Julee, Jerec OR Jax anywhere on the ship, I know where Jax is, he's in space…" Calli stated.
Rahn sighed, letting out a "Damnit" And a "Beam Jax to sickbay, Doc will take care of him"
Aboard the ARK2…
"Captain Sonic…the six unknown vessels have begun firing upon the World Beyonder" Tails explained.
"Fire Rapid fire EMP Projectiles!" Sonic ordered.
The ARK2 began firing on the six vessels, each of them were Silver, black and red, when the Electric blue projectiles came into contact with the vessels, each of them had a red bubble around them, representing their shield.
"Fire Phasers, evasive pattern beta 6" Rahn said.
The World Beyonder fired upon three of the vessels with three streams of yellow light, one vessel exploded, and the others had their shield flash again, one of the SwatBot vessels opened fire on the World Beyonder, causing the deck it hit to have a hull breach.
Aboard Jerec's ship…
"Yes…come apart World Beyonder" Jerec muttered, grinning.
"Why are you doing this? I thought I trusted you!" Julee screamed.
"No need to care about them anymore my love…there are worthless" Jerec explained to Julee, attempting to pull her into a kiss, but Julee pushed him and kicked him.
Back on the Bridge of the World Beyonder…
"I've got a lock on Julee" Luigi said.
"Get her out of there!" Rahn stated.
Luigi pressed a few buttons, but all that was heard was a failure to transport message.
"I can't…Jerec's raised his Shields!" Luigi stated.
"Fire 3 Photon Torpedoes! Full spread" Rahn ordered Calli.
Calli pressed a few random buttons and three red cylinder objects hit Jerec's ship, causing an explosion on the bridge of his ship.
"Shields offline! God damnit!" Jerec screamed.
Julee grinned at Jerec as she whacked him and then disappeared in the sapphire blue light.
"I have her Captain!" Luigi said.
"Calli, hail Jerec" Rahn stated.
"You and your crew have signed your own death warrant today, you know that Captain" Jerec said.
A rumbiling occurred on the World Beyonder, some control panels exploded and a crewman that looked remarkably like Jax fell to the floor, the COM link to Jerec went dead.
"Shields are down to 20% Captain!" Calli said.
"Fire Quantum Torpedoes" Rahn muttered.
The World Beyonder fired two blue torpedoes at Jerec's ship, it began smoking and catching fire.
Jerec shouted out loud "Emergency transport!" then he disappeared in a emerald green light.
Aboard the Borg Cube…
Bell and Haley confronted Jerec.
"We had a deal, now you are up for assimilation." They both stated.
Jerec gulped…
Back where the World Beyonder was…
The World Beyonder fired upon the last remaining SWatBot ships, causing them all to be destroyed.
"Phew…stand down Red Alert." Rahn said.
He then turned to C-4 and spoke again.
"Get down to the Brig and talk to Julee" Rahn ordered.
C-4 got up and headed into a turbolift, and the lift began descending to the Brig, once it did, C-4 walked through the doors and headed to Julee's cell.
"Julee, I don't know what you were thinking, you know what I mean? You were told not to go near Jerec and you did." C-4 said.
"I'm sorry….it's just my feelings for him went over the top" Julee explained.
"Well…look on the bright side, there will be other fish in the sea" C-4 chuckled, then walked out.
"I don't know if I'll ever get over Jerec…" Julee muttered
She then sighed and then sobbed.
The World Beyonder continued it's voyage throughout space…awaiting for what terrors would approach it and it's crew…
