[ Thea - Artemis, Serenity] With Tobias now in custody, Thea hadn't wasted any time in having the Artemis continue towards the compound where she hoped to be reunited with the away team. In fact the shuttle was in the process of landing when she received the call from Niles. =/\= Acknowledged Mr Niles, Tobias is now in custody and I currently have teams locating the colonists and one headed to your position. I'll see you all momentarily =/\= Closing the channel, Thea prepared for the final phase of landing, eager to get to her people as soon as she could. ******************[Mara Rexan & Amira Leran - Room 5, Serenity]Now that a plan had been discussed, Mara was definitely ready to leave this place behind and more importantly find her people. Although was grateful to those who came over to help her off the table. Thanking them as Left Ear reminded Niles about Amira so she could get treatment whilst security dealt with Jaggah and Thea gave an update. Relief washed through her as she decided to stay by Amira at least for now. As determined as she was to keep moving, Amira knew that she was pushing it. So when she was told to sit, she didn't argue and focused on the Healer. Her strength fading with the adrenaline, blocking out everything but the one treating her as she asked about allergies. " I don't have any".*************A team of six security officers from the Absolute began making their way along the corridor towards room 5. One Lt Commander Britton then stopped just outside. " We're from the Absolute and are here to help get you all to Commander Baker and the shuttles".

[NPC - Jaggah - Room 5]
Helpless, hopeless, Jaggah seemed to zone out. He hardly perceived the kick, nor did he listen to the Starfleeters' machinations. He just slowly drifted off into a practiced dream state, until this thing settled. He'd probably have to kill himself, one way or another, and that was fine - he'd had a good run.
His eyes closed, and his breaths grew startlingly regular.

[ LT Joshua Niles - Serenity Colony, Undisclosed location ]Apparently, the Sivaoan had not quite understood that getting out right now was not exactly discretionary. And no matter how badly roughed up anyone within the room had been, no one was at immediate risk to their lives and limb, and if Commander Baker had organized that rescue operation, then there would be medical personnel on hand to at least triage and perform stabilization treatment on anyone who'd need it. However, before he could address that, a voice came from the corridor. A male voice, calm and professional, identifying themselves as being from the crew of the Absolute. Well then. Slowly, Niles approached the door, and carefully peered around the edge. He was not entirely certain that it indeed was a rescue party outside the door, and he was not about to take any chances. But, when he saw a series of Starfleet uniforms, gold collars and fleet-issued weapons, he stepped out altogether. "Commander, I'm Lieutenant Niles, Tactical officer on the Mac. We have three civilians in here. One is a medical professional who's looking after one who has suffered long-term abuse, and the third is the colony administrator who's also been cooperating with the outfit that arranged for this. Rest of us have endured," As he spoke that last word, the Lieutenant shrugged, somewhat bringing attention to the cut on his cheek and his bloodstained beard and collar. "Various degrees of roughing up, no major injuries among the Away Team."Well, given that he was addressing the Lieutenant-Commander who was probably the second seniormost officer coming on the rescue operation, passing on as much information as possible made sense to him. "This facility also houses labs and a production facility for a toxin used in attacking crops, and they have a number of suborbital gunships on hand."

[Lt Commander Rex Britton - Room 5, Serenity]
When the door opened to reveal the now freed away team from the Mac and a couple of civilians. Rex could breath a little easier as Lt Niles answered him. The Security Chief scanned those in the immediate vicinity, familiarising himself with one civilian in particular. Amira Leran was known to him as the Absolute had been tasked with trying to locate her, so this joint mission had proved to be double the success.
Turning his attention back to Niles, Rex was able to pass on some news to him after Niles had finished. " Thank you, Lieutenant, the Absolute will be staying behind to further assist the colonists and to fully investigate the operation that was going on here. Also you've found Ms Leran for us, which finally brings some resolution to one of our last missions".
As Rex spoke, the rest of his team moved inside to assist with Amira and were ready to carry her. One Ensign moved over to Mara before leading the way out with her.
" If you're all ready then let's go, I'm sure Commander Baker will be very pleased to see you all" He said as he stepped to one side to allow the Mac crew to go next, just as another team and Thea arrived. Yes she could of waited but with everything going smoothly with the round up of the remaining gang members and freeing the colonists, she couldn't stay idle.
Two other security officers including Laurel Andrews, hoisted Jaggah up and proceeded to leave, ending his reign of terror once and for all. Thea then looked at her team and smiled before speaking.
" Let's go home shall we?, drinks are on me in ten forward".

[PO3 Jovireh Velal - Unknown Location - Room 5]
Hearing the voice on the other side of the wall, Jov pressed back against it, watching as Lt. Niles stepped over to peer cautiously outside. Once confirmed it was indeed their rescue, she relaxed and returned to the Orion in her custody. Now that they had backup, especially armed backup, there was no reason they couldn't take him with them. She remained silent while Niles and the security Commander exchanged updates, and then Thea appeared. Another sigh of relief to see she had been unharmed in the confrontation with Tobias, and she was happy to step back and let Lt. Andrews take custody of Jaggah. The sooner she no longer had to look at his slimy face, the happier she would be.
But as the situation calmed down, and safety and freedom were right around the corner, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. It had been too easy, too clean, too perfect. Were they somehow walking into another trap? Only one way to know for sure... Get out of this cell and find out what waited for them on the other side. So she said nothing about her concerns, and followed the others out of the compound.

[ CPO Kaya Som, PO3 Yande Djigo, PO2 Étienne Fournier | Getting the hell out of Dodge ]Kaya fell in with the rest of them as they were escorted from the compound to the hangar and onto Starfleet shuttles. In the manic relief of rescue there was talk of drinks and extra leave and holodeck time, Kaya somehow managed to join in once they were safely aboard. She even finally had a moment to talk to Mara Rexan and fulfill the obligatory Trill 'how are your parents' and all that. And all of it felt like she was delivering lines in a play. Yande passed her a small med kit, and when Kaya looked puzzled she said, "your face. Your nose," and pointed. Oh, right. Kaya touched her nose and mouth and inspected the drying blood that came back on her hand. It was all superficial. The wave of a wand and it'd be like it never happened. She cleaned her face and then laughed when Étienne made a joke about Commander Baker maxing out her rations in ten forward. Thea Baker (quick Mara mention), general tags everyone else.

[Lt Shavan Th’zhaar - Room 5] Shavan looked up and tilted his antennae toward the door as he heard movement just outside. And then the door was open, and Starfleet was here. It was over. Well, in truth he wouldn’t completely relax until they were off this planet… but it definitely looked that way. It was good to see that this Tobias hadn’t succeeded in hurting Thea, either. “That sounds great, Commander,” he answered her offer of drinks in the lounge with a wry smile. He glanced back at the others, who certainly could all use something else to think about. With the rest of the away team he followed her back to the waiting shuttles. Soon enough, they were off. tag Thea Baker , soft tag everyone

[ Left Ear to-Ennien - Serenity --> En Route to USS Mac] Left Ear followed the others into the shuttle, relinquishing her patient to the Starfleet medical officers with a succinct description of the woman's condition. She paid little attention to the talk going on around her. The jokes mostly went over her head, but the Sivaoan knew that the laughter was meant to relieve the tensions they'd all felt for the last few hours. Her icy blue eyes scanned the faces and landed on Kaya's as the Trill cleaned blood off of her face. Left Ear was ashamed that her own terror had precluded her from seeing that the young engineer was injured. Left Ear made her way to the seat next to Kaya and sat, letting her tail settle gently across the Trills hands. She said quietly, ' Would you like me to take care of your injury?' ---------- Tag Kaya Som

[ CPO Kaya Som | Shuttle ]"It's nothing," Kaya said to Left Ear but even so she handed over the small open med kit. She'd been hurt worse several times before - crashing a truck as a teenager, hand slammed in a door, block knocked off sparring - but that wasn't the point. Not even close. "It's not usually like this," Kaya said with a little smile, letting the Sivaoan do her work. "You know, Starfleet missions. Most of the time there are more tricorders. At least that's what's on the label." It was too bad for Left Ear. She'd come along for a proper away mission on a beautiful planet, but instead all of Starfleet's elite intelligence and security had been as floppy as Trill flatbread with just as many holes. Maybe she'd think twice next time, take her Useful and go home. Kaya wouldn't blame her. Ozu Saya (Left Ear)

[Ten Forward - USS Mac]
[Sometime Later]
After leaving Mara and the other colonists in the very capable hands of the Absolute crew. Those from the Mac returned to the ship, where Thea gave the order to set a course for home. Then with instructions given to the away team, that uniform wasn't required for drinks in the lounge. Thea and Isaiah went off to change, deciding that a debriefing and discussion about the day's events could wait until tomorrow.
Once she had been changed, Thea then made her way to the lounge to await the away team's arrival. Rank would be left at the door because any good doctor and XO put their crew's wellbeing first and considering what they had been through. This get together was a chance for them to relax, talk about non work related subjects and just as importantly be with family.

[PO3 Jovireh Velal - USS Mac - Ten Forward]Upon arriving safely on the Mac, Jov followed the casual orders to go to her quarters to get changed into something more comfortable. The absence of the demanding meow and incessant winding between her legs was more upsetting than she had expected it to be, and she decided that she should probably start bringing her cat on the ship with her after all. With her quarters seeming entirely too quiet and empty, she wasted no time changing into her usual off-duty tank top, releasing her hair from the bun and putting it back in a looser pony tail, and then making her way to the lounge. Seeing Thea already present, she gave the woman a smile and a nod as she walked over. "I'm sure it goes without saying, but thanks for the rescue. Your timing was impeccable." It would be awhile before she could forget the look in Jaggah's eyes when he grabbed her, or the sounds of the others being struck when she couldn't do anything about it. Had they been in that room for much longer, at least a few of them would have come out in far worse condition, her included. "So what are we having?" Jov quickly changed the subject to the promised alcohol, more than willing to spend the rest of the trip home forgetting this mission even happened.

[Ten Forward - USS Mac] Standing beside the bar for the time being until everyone had arrived and had gotten their first drink of choice. Thea spoke quietly with the bartender, a rather jovially Bolian by the name of Tezz, Thea's attention quickly turned towards the doors as Jov entered and made her way over to her. Returning the smile as Jov then spoke of her thanks about the rescue and Thea's impeccable timing. " No thanks are needed, I'm just glad that we made it back when we did. Also I was fortunate that the Absolute was within helping distance".Luck had definitely been on their side and they hadn't lost anyone so today could definitely be put down as a win, even if they didn't feel that way right now. When asked what they were having, Thea grinned as she answered. " Anything you like, I may start with a vodka lemon and lime".

[ LT Joshua Niles - Serenity Colony -> Ten Forward, USS Mac ]With his report given to Lieutenant-Commander Britton, Niles and his crewmates from the Mac found themselves met by Commander Baker, who'd decided to leave the safety of the landing zone to come and find her people. Granted, that was not precisely something he was thrilled to see given the place they were in, but knowing she'd come personally to see them out of this was, indeed, heartwarming. Especially her statement that once they would return on board, drinks would be on her. The trip back aboard was a bit of a blur for the Tactical Officer; adrenaline was a hell of a drug, especially combined with his efforts to keep a clear head. Next thing he remembered clearly, he was in Sickbay where a minor concussion, cracked cheekbone and the laceration to his cheek were being treated, and then the rather unpleasant experience of having a tooth that was broken and cracked beyond repair removed and replaced. One more bit that's not OEM, he found himself thinking as the ship's dental surgeon finished their work. Upon returning to his quarters, he'd debated starting work on his mission report to date. He still had to get the colony's communications, sensor and weapons nets up and running... but that would be something for later. For the moment, he found himself into a sonic shower, and rather than throwing on a fresh uniform, he slipped into his most casual set of civilian attire that wasn't gym wear or his still-unfaded old Academy sweats and made his way for the lounge. Arriving at the bar, he found that Petty Officer Velal was already there with Commander Baker, and he joined both woman. When the bartender came to him, Niles considered his selection. The Skipper had offered to be buying, but he wasn't about to go whole hog on this. Which mean that he looked a little lower than the very top shelf selection. "I'll have the Eagle Rare on the rocks, please." Well, Mac at least kept a good whiskey selection, and just now, the silky warmth of bourbon was just what he needed. And once he'd let the first sip go past his lips, he found himself finally relaxing some. "So what now, Skipper? Finish the job we came here to do, and then go hunting the rest of that crew? Without central leadership, they might be more of a threat than they used to be."

Ozu Saya (Left Ear) [ Left Ear to-Ennien - Shuttle] Left Ear treated Kaya's minor injury, but had a great urge to pet and comfort the Trill. She felt she'd probably taken quite enough liberty in the physical contact department already, though, so she simply sat and left it to Kaya whether she wanted further comforting. ---------- [Later - Ten Forward] Left Ear wasn't entirely sure if Thea's instructions had extended to her, but since she'd been part of the away team, she felt reasonably secure in showing up in the lounge. The Sivaoan didn't drink, and hated the smell of alcohol, but knew that she could order something else, and maybe inject herself with a nasal numbing agent if the alcohol started flowing too freely. A quick look around told her that there were only a few members of the team present as of yet, so Left Ear sidled over to stand beside Jov. The bartender got her attention with raised eyebrows that Left Ear had come to recognize from other eating and drinking establishments to be the quick way to ask what a patron wanted to order. ' A glass of passion fruit juice, please,' she said after a moment's hesitation. ---------- Last shuttle tag to Kaya SomSoft tags for Jovireh Velal, Thea Baker and Joshua Niles

[PO3 Jovireh Velal - USS Mac - Ten Forward]Jov grinned a little at the offer of 'whatever they wanted'. Of course, what she really wanted wasn't available on Federation ships yet, but she still had a case back in her quarters on the station that she'd be making use of over the next few days. "In that case, I'll go with an Aldebaran whiskey," she told the bartender, watching as he poured the bright green liquid into a tall glass. Yes, that would do nicely. Lt. Niles was the next one to join them, and after placing his own order immediately began to inquire about their next course of action. Jov struggled not to roll her eyes, and instead dipped her head with a quiet "Excuse me," and stepped away from them. She knew that everyone handled situations like they were in their own way, and clearly Josh's way was very different than her own. Whatever the plan was, she would follow through, but right now she didn't want to know about it. Taking a seat at the bar, she picked up her glass and took a sip, noticing from the corner of her eye Left Ear stepping up next to her. The sip turned into a deeper drink as the burn was far more appreciated than she had anticipated, and when she finally lowered the glass she turned to the Sivaoan as she ordered a juice. Well... alcohol wasn't for everyone. At least she had decided to join them. "How are you feeling?" she asked her quietly. While it had been rough on all of them, Left Ear and Kaya had by far had it the worst. Left Ear had seemed to recover a bit easier than the engineer, but it never hurt to check in on her.
