LTJG Luke Miller during "the rumination of trees" and "Archery" Holodeck One Luke ran and dove behind a crate, the report of a late twentieth sentry pistil finally going quiet some where behind him. He stood up and looked around. he did not see anyone. the dock he was on was quiet and still. then he saw him. Fifteen feet away and a little to the right, a big man rounding a corner. Luke started to bring up his gun. He did not have time to aim, he was just milliseconds a head of the man. Bang, the man dropped, with a hole in his chest. Luke did not have time to see if any of the dead man's friends were following still. he started to run towards the boarding plank of the USS Magic. He ran on to the deck and crashed through a door and found him self face to face with a shocked crewmen. Luke brought up and around his right arm and clubbed the man on the side of the head. The man was unconscious before he hit the wooden deck. He started a fast but quiet walk down the hall. He stopped when the hall turned to the right, and found him self looking at the turned back of a man. the man just started to take a step when Luke sprung. Luke rapped his arm around the man's neck and put his gun to his head. "Where is it?" Luke asked. "Where is what?" the man answered back. "You know exactly what." Luke said as he tightened his grip around the man's throat. "Ok Ok, it is on the bridge. just don't hurt me." Luke uttered "Thanks." just before hitting the man into unconsciousness. Luke started to run down the hall again. then he heard crying. he skidded to a halt in front of a door. he opened it cautiously and found two people in side. "Who, who are you?" one of them asked wile backing up. "My name is Luke. I am here to rescue you. I work for the CIA." a woman stopped crying in one of the corners "rescue?" "That's right. Now, stay here. You will be safe. I have to take care of something..." Luke said before closing the door. Luke started to run down the hall again. Before he new it he was climbing stairs and entering the bridge. He looked around. he started to walk towards the glass front that gave a 180 degree view of the front of the ship. Then he saw it. On the floor behind the helm, a bomb. Luke saw that it had eight seconds displayed on the count down clock. He shot out the glass and through the bomb out the window. Luke dove to the deck bracing for the explosion. He counted down in his head. 5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1.... =/\=Commander Quetan, to lieutenant Miller.=/\= "Miller here." =/\=Please report to the transporter room for an away mission.=/\= "On my way." Luke got up. "Computer exit program." He walked out of the holodeck and right past Commodore Santos. Luke was just about to say hello when he saw the Commodore's face. he looked lost in thought. Luke doubted that he even realized Luke was there. So, Luke just kept going to the transporter room. Luke walked in and saw Commander Quetan, Leah and Sam McCaw. "Hi everyone." Luke said happily. everyone responded just as cheerily. Quetan started "Our mission is to locate the largest settlement on the planet and learn what we can about their people. Instead of cloaking suits, we will wear period clothing and blend in among the populace." She walked over to one side of the room and picked up a pile of clothing. she handed some to everybody. Quetan was already in hers. "All right, you have 5 minutes to get back here." Everyone went to change and was back in 3 minutes. everyone got on the transporter pad. "Energize..." (END) Ooc- yup, that means I am in for this mission.
