Star Trek Deep Space Nine

Chapter 3

Trapped

Weyoun stared at the window watching the Dominion warship flying at high warp. He stood there just watching it as he thought about strategic plans. Part of the sixth fleet had advance toward Batazed but he was told not to attack it just yet. The female shape shifter had just left the room and even with the enormous amounts of respect he had for, he was glad that he was able to have some time alone to clear his thoughts. He didn't know why exactly he needed to do so, but he knew it had felt good.

Weyoun closed his eyes for a few moments and took a deep breath. His door chimed and he exhaled. "You may enter," He said turning toward the door. It opened up and he say Damar enter the room. "Ah Damar," Weyoun said looking back out the window again, "How can I help you?"

"I wanted to tell you the assault on the Klingon ship yards in the K'Tar Sector have been successful," Damar said as he approached Weyoun.

"Do you see that?" Weyoun asked as he intently gazed at the Dominion war ship.

Damar looked at Weyoun strangely and asked, "What are you looking at exactly?"

Weyoun chuckled and turned to face Damar. He placed a friendly hand on Damar and said with a small smile, "You must thing I am crazy." He paused and walked to the desk on the far side of the room. "No matter," He paused and looked at Damar who had a confused look on his face, "I have been looking out the window for two hours trying to see the beauty of space and of the Dominion ship."

"And what exactly can I help you with?" Damar asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Even with the amounts of time I have been looking out there," Weyoun said shaking his head as he glanced out the window, "To me space looks like space and the Dominion war ship looks like," He paused and smiled again, "It just looks like a plain old war ship to me."

"And that is what it is exactly," Damar said chuckling at the Vorta. "I will tell what beauty is," Damar paused and made sure Weyoun was looking at him directly, "It is in the city of Celner. There is a place where the females will do whatever you want just by sensing your sexual desires."

"That sounds interesting and everything," Weyoun said shaking his head, "But I am incapable of having sex or even sexual thoughts of any sort."

Damar chuckled and shook his head and said bluntly,"You are missing out in some of the best things in life."

A bright light woke Sisko from his dreams. He was once again dreaming about Jennifer and every passing dream seemed to grow more intense; more realistic. His dreams scared him now more than they ever did. He was having dreams, just like he had back when Jennifer had first died. He could still feel the touch of her lips on his lips and her nails sensually scraping against the back of his neck. He could still hear her moans and her whispers.

"Good morning," The female nurse said with a cheerful she walked into the room. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"The same I have been feeling the past few days," Sisko said coldly refusing to look at the nurse as she gave him some medicine.

The nurse ignored Sisko as she gave him the medicine. She was used to her patients' negativity. It was only natural when you were cooped up in a room for a long period of time. "I have a surprise for you," She said with a smile as she motioned for two male nurses to help get Sisko to his feet. "Today you will be able to go to the social room and visit the other patients and grab something to eat."

She watched the nurses help Sisko out of the room. He slowly walked down the dimly lit hall taking inward notes if he would ever be able to escape. He watched one of the nurses pause by a door and lean forward to get his eye scanned in order for the door to open. Seconds after the scan, the door slid open and Sisko was quietly brought to the social room, after walking down two more halls. When Sisko was brought to the social room, she grabbed one of the other nurses by the elbow and whispered, "Watch him carefully, we must not disappoint them."

"I understand," The nurse said looking at her, "I hate it when they come crawling in for their check ups."

Sisko scanned the large room as he slowly stepped into it. There were many tables spread throughout the room. Most of them were occupied by various aliens. He didn't recognize any of the aliens, but they all seemed to have mental issues. Sisko walked past one table that had a sleeping alien. Or that's what he thought. As soon as he walked past, the alien turned and roughly grabbed his wrist. "The time has come," He said in a ghostly tone. His eyes were a dark and cloudy shade, "There is no way out of it."

"What are you talking about?" Sisko asked slightly annoyed as he tried to pull away from the alien, but was unable to do so. This was one strong alien.

The alien stood up quickly and was at least two and half feet taller than him. He had a large tentacle that protruded from his forehead and extened toward the back of his head, where it then disappeared under his hospital gown. His eyes were dark black and he had no nose, just four vertical holes instead. It opened it's mouth wide showing sharp teeth as it hissed, "We are all going to die."

"Are you trying to scare people again," A nurse said approaching Sisko. The alien stiffened and shook his large head as he returned to his seat, pretending to or actually going back to sleep. "Good job Nelo. No one is going to die."

Sisko shook his head as the nurse turned to face him. "What can I do for you today Sisko," He paused and showed him to an empty table. "How about I get you some G'Algerian fudge." He winked, "It is amazing."

Sisko frowned. He found it strange that this alien did that. Only humans did that and even that, he rarely saw. Maybe it intentional or by accident. What ever the case may have been. He decided he needed to play this one out and study his surroundings for a possible escape. Learn who to trust and learn who to stay away from. The nurse returned with a plate of a dark black looking liquid. He set it on the table and said, "Try it, I think you will like it."

Sisko sat down with a sigh. He was hungry and it smelled good. He took a spoonful of it and ate it, surprised at its sweet taste. "You see," The nurse said patting him on the back as he walked away, "I told you, you would like it."

Sisko took another spoonful as he watched the nurse walk away and talk to another patient a few tables away. When the nurse was out of eye sight, he stood up and approached the large alien. "Listen to me," He said taking a seat across from him. The alien looked at him and then turned around glancing at the nurses that were a few tables away. "I want to ask you a question." The alien didn't answer. So Sisko leaned closely and whispered, "Is there anyway in getting out of here?"

Nelo began to laugh loudly. "We are here because we are crazy," He paused and glided his tongue over his sharp teeth. "There is no way out of here."

"Are you causing trouble?" The same nurse from before asked with a smirk as he approached the table. "You do know the rules here Nelo." Sisko looked at the nurse strangely, when the nurse continued, "One person at a table at all times, there is absolutely no sharing or talking to any other patients."

"Arer you serious?" Sisko asked standing up. He turned to the nurse and shook his head in disbelief. "That rule makes no sense at all."

"Is that what you think?" The nurse asked taking a step toward Sisko. "I think it is time for you to return to your room." Sisko sighed and followed the nurse to the door as the nurse chuckled, "Good job."

Jake felt sick. His whole body ached and his throat was extremely dry. He also felt like he may have broken his ankle. IT was too painfull to walk. Jake sat up from his bed or at least it was supposed to be one. It was a metal shelf that came out from the wall slowly and looked at his surroundings. The room was dimly lit and warm. There was a door at the far end of the room and he knew it was locked. He couldn't quite remember how he had gotten here. He did remember going to Earth with his dad, but after that his mind was blank.

Suddenly the doors slid open and two Jem Hadar guards walked in. Weyoun walked in behind themwith a curious smile on his face. "Oh Jake Sisko," He said stepping up to him with a pleased look. He clapped his hands together and continued, "Well this is a surprise."

"Mr. Weyoun," Jake said looking surprised.

"It has been too long my friend," Weyoun said taking a seat next to Jake who stiffened and then winced when it hurt. "How is your reporting going on these days?"

"There is always a lot to write about these days," Jake said eyeing the two guards to his left who were standing by the doorway.

"Well that's good to hear," Weyoun said with a tease as Jake rolled his eyes, "It will indeed improve your writing skills."

"Mr. Weyoun," Jake said with a tired sigh, "Is there something you want?"

"Actually yes there is," Weyoun said standing up. He smiled and then said, "Have you ever been to Batazed?"

"Um no," Jake said shaking his head.

"Well I am only telling you this, because you have no place to go and I need you to do something for me," Weyoun pasued and took a step toward Jake, "We are going to attack the Batazed home world."

"So what does that have to do with me?" Jake asked looking at the two guards again. For some reason they didn't scare him in the least. He wasn't sure why, but he was glad he wasn't. Maybe it had to do with all his dealings with the Jem Hadar when they were on the station, or maybe not.

"Well Mr. Sisko," Weyoun said sternly, "I want you to write about what happens."
