Back at the ACH Headquarters Allied Assim and Fox were trying to figure out a way to get Tex back…
We need to go and get her, and reinforcements are to far away." Larry looked over the crew. "Assim, it's your call, but as this is a Clan and not an army, I'm going into to get her. A Jedi is no small warrior."
"Yeah I'm with Jedi boy, I'm going in with him," Said Fox sternly, "I'm not just gonna leave her behind like that now y'all can either stay here or get off your asses and help us rescue her."
Maquis stood up "I'm in… I screwed up and didn't try to fix it before." While everyone went to recruit more people for the rescue mission Maquis Got Ready. "Fox, Jedi lets go!" came his Voice over the intercom.
Tex impatiently walked back and forth in the transporter room when Craig and the identical woman walked in with two more guards. Tex glared at the woman. "What is SHE doing here" said Tex irritated.
"She asked to come along," said Craig politely "said something about wanting to catch up on old times. I came to ask how and why you were back in my base without my permission."
"To you Sir. I'm sorry for the intrusion, my team was being beamed back to Base when my Track got messed up and i was sent to the closest transporter pad. Or... here. My team should Be here soon to pick me up then we will be on our way. As for HER... i have nothing to say..."
"Well" said Craig a bit taken back. "Since you are here i guess well make you a guest here you might as well have a r… yes Capt. Squishy?" the woman "Squishy" whispered something to Craig "yes that's a good idea, you may be the one." he turned back to Tex "ass I was saying. You might as well have a room for now and an escort, your escort will be Squishy."
Tex's mouth dropped, she quickly pulled herself together "yes sir..." she said with a sharper glare to squishy, who was just standing there, smiling like a child who just got her way.
"Good!" said Craig with a smile "i will see you around then, Squishy please show our guest to her quarters."
Back at ACH they were discussing the plans for the mission…
"I would recommend a different approach than before;" Suggested Allied "They would be most prepared against an air assault. So why not just transport a crack team into the midst of their base?"
"Sounds good!! Let's go!" Said Fox, "I'm lock, stock and ready to go YEE HA!!!"
The members of the rescue team were transferred into the Pride of Clan Hunters to where they would be sent down into the CORE clan's base. The teams consisted of Harrod, Assim, FOX, Maquis, and Biffy who decided to help out.
Captain
Whitestar greeted the members of the Rescue team as they materialized
outside of the Transporter. "We will be using a different kind
of transport method in order to insert you into the CORE base. They
have an anti transport field, but we have a new piece of technology
that should get us inside. The Gou'ld use a form of transportation
called 'The Rings.' "
Larry
looked cockeyed at him.
"No really, the rings de-materialize you and then carry you down to the destination where you materialize. Only difference is, the rings actually serve as protection while in transport, thus allowing us to enter their base through the shields."
"Wow! I don't know what you just said but ok!" Fox said scratching his head.
Whitestar shrugged, "Neither do I, really. Nor does John Call I think. He just put them in."
"Oh, ok let's just go," said Fox confidently. "As long as it can get us in and save Tex I don't care."
Tex and Squishy were walking along the long corridors in silence, When Tex finally decided to break it. "So... Squishy? What gave you that idea?" asked Tex as they walked down the hallways of the CORE Building
"It's what I do to my enemies..." Said Squishy blankly.
"oh...
k... What ever happened to ash? I thought she burned people… cut
them to pieces and burned the remains!! Now she carries only a gun a
cheap way of killing… I guess squishy is a good name… you squish
your enemies along with your honor… some sister… I wouldn't be
surprised if Ra was at the temple of Morg right now scratching your
name off the family charts…"
"My
Fate is none of your concern Rose!!!!" said Squishy In a rage. "and
anyway look who's talking! You carry a gun too!!!"
"At least I still carry the sword of our Fathers!! And use it on a regular basis.. this is the 2nd time I've seen you and you have yet to show the tiniest respect to our Ancestors by carrying their sword."
Silence followed until they reached a guard standing next to a door… here they stopped, and Squishy spoke again. "These are your quarters… this guard will be here for your assistance at all times…"
She turned to leave when Tex stopped her "why are you here… what is your clan's real intentions…."
"Me?" said Squishy "I'm here just like everyone else… to have a good time. the clan? they are trying to establish a base and recruit. After that is none of your concern." She turned and left…
Tex sighed and turned around to find the guard standing there with a confused look on his face. Tex glared at him, "You're assistance is no longer needed."
The guard simply laughed "HA!! That's funny! If you need to leave ill be here to escort you….if your hungry there is a food simulator in there…"
Tex growled as she walked in. "Why couldn't I have been a Jedi like Harrod" she thought.
