       ---------------------------------------------------------
       2 days later
       Lela sat beside Gary her little brother sat in her lap. Her
       dress uniform pinched her neck. She stared off in the distance
       not really seeing the caskets in front of her. Jospeh sat on the
       other side he sat as stony and unfeeling as she did. The three
       flag drapped caskets Each holding the burned body of her mother,
       Jonathan and Jenna. It was almost unbareable but Lela knew she
       needed to keep it together for her siblings sake and for her
       own. Danny stood behind her his hand on her shoulder offering
       his support and a rock for her to cling to. His touch kept her
       from losing it. He had held her these past few days as che cried
       unable to stop. Four members of her family had been killed that
       was including the baby that Jenna had been pregnant with at the
       time of her death. Lela looked over at her brother and took his
       hand giving him a reassuring squeeze. She gently stroked her
       brothers hair the toddler had little idea of what was going on,
       only that his mother was never coming home. She looked over at
       Gary her adoptive father had been going through hell at losing
       his wife but he hadn't shown it. Instead he had thrown himself
       into his work and Lela had stepped in to assume the role of
       mother figure for her brother. Her brother had even taken to
       staying in her and Danny's quarters when Gary wasn't around. As
       the ceramony began Lela shifted her attention to her biological
       father. He was the commanding officer of the ship now and Danny
       the executive officer.
       Lela only heard parts of what her father was saying.
       "Friends, family, comrades in arms it is with great sorrow and
       regret that I stand before you to bid a final fairwell to Fleet
       Admiral Kira Phaserman, Vice Admiral Jonathan Frost, and Lt.
       Jenna Kilmore and to the daughter that she carried Isabella
       Frost."
       As each name was read another pang of grief and sarrow tore
       through her.
       "They died in the line of duty, doing what they could to serve
       and protect the Federation. They knew the risks and accepted
       them. I once spoke with Kira for it was assumed I was dead. She
       said my ceramony was quiet and and depressing and that she
       didn't want to go out like that. She wanted to go out being
       celerbated for her achivements and for the impact she had on the
       lives around her. Kira was loved, by her family, firends, and
       those she commanded and I know this, she wouldn't want us to cry
       over her she once told me to save my tears for a time they would
       really be needed for her death was not one of those times. Kira,
       if you can hear me, I want you to know that I love you and I
       miss you that we all love and miss you. We, your family on the
       Veroto will watch after your children with love and raise them
       to know who their mother really was a hero." Baj said looking
       around
       Tears streamed down her face but a hint of a smile came to her
       mouth as she realized her father couldn't have possibly written
       that Lela looked around and saw Mara she mouthed "Thank you"
       Mara nodded then looked back at Baj.
       "Vice Admiral Jonathan Frost, I hadn't known the man long but I
       had heard of him through Kira. She always told me how strong he
       was and an amazing commander. I saw that in him when I met him.
       He was always quick with a smile and a joke but he knew how to
       get down to it and do what needed to be done. His recent
       promotion to Lima Fleet Chief of Staff afforded him with lots of
       authority which he did not take lightly. His position as First
       Officer while sometimes boring was always met with determination
       and an understanding of human value."
       Lela looked over at her brother he betrayed nothing.
       "Jenna Kilmore, while she had lived a very long time it seemed
       like her life was just starting. Engaged to the man she loved
       about to bare them a child and her life and that of her child
       was tragicaly cut short." Baj looked over at Joseph. "She was a
       very strong woman quick to say what was on her mind and she
       didn't care if you liked it or not. Probably the only star fleet
       officer I have ever met besides Kira that could get away with
       telling off a higher ranking officer and get away with it. I
       wish I could have gotten to know Jenna better for she like
       Jonathan was family."
       As Baj finished up the Marine honor guard stepped up, one by one
       they folded the flags. They presented Kira's flag to Gary who
       accepted it without really looking at it. Next Jenna and
       Jonathan's flags were presented to Jospeh. She knew if he
       betrayed no emotion now it would be worse later on she made a
       mental note to hunt him down before he could hurt himself or
       others.
       As they concluded the funeral each body was escorted from the
       room. They would not be laid to rest in space, Jonathan and
       Jenna would be laid to rest on Earth but her mothers wish had
       been to be laid at rest on Qronos. She was after all a warrior
       madien of the house of Prime. Lela suspected that her mother had
       actually wished to be laid to rest on Earth but had never had
       the chance to change her will. Either way it didn't matter her
       mother was dead she didn't care where they left the empty shell
       of her mothers body.
       As everyone filed out Lela looked to Danny, "Make sure Gary's
       okay please and take John with you" she said as she watched
       Jospeh leave. "I better make sure he doesn't hurt himself or
       someone else"
       Danny nodded and Lela took off after her brother. He had already
       disappered but Lela picked up his scent and followed behind him.
       She caught sight of him as he entered his quarters. When she
       approched he had sealed the door. Lela frowned "Really Joe like
       that's gonna stop me." Lea said to herself. she pried at the
       wall panal only to find he had set up a force field. she shook
       her head went down the hall a little ways opened an access panal
       and shorted out the force field then walked back and opened the
       door. "Joseph I know you want to be left alone but..." That's
       when Lela saw it. His walls were plastered with schematics, blue
       prints, ariel maps that Gary had created and much much more. He
       had taken to writing on the walls. "What the hell is this?" Lela
       demanded catching sight of him.

       ON:
       [font=times new roman]Briefing Room Ceremony | U.S.S.
       Veroto[/font]
       Through out the entire ceremony Joseph had stood at rigid
       attention staring out the window behind Baj. He willed his
       emotions away, even willing his tail to stay still as he
       listened to the eulogy that Baj gave. When his father and
       fiancee were mentioned and Baj looked at him, Joseph made eye
       contact with him.
       Finally with the speaking done, he accepted both flags and gave
       a salute, even if it wasn't standard procedure he felt it
       necessary. When they had broken up and begun the wake for his
       family he slowly broke away from the group and left, still
       holding said flags. He made his way through the ship to his
       quarters and once inside he finally spoke "Computer, initiate
       lockdown, Frost Uniform three seven Charlie Kilo. erect a level
       seven forcefield inside the control panel for the door." The
       computer acknowledged his order and he heard the snikt of the
       door locking and the hum of a forcefield.
       With his security measures in place he picked up a PADD and
       started pouring over the evidence and intel that he and Gary had
       come up with. Barely five minutes in to it the door reopened and
       his sister walked in. He growled loudly in anger and hit a
       control shutting the doors behind her. He then spoke "Christ I
       can't have any privacy can I?"
       He let his anger subside and spoke "I don't think our family
       are dead Lela... I found the chain with Jenna's engagement ring
       on it when we were on the surface." He picked it up off the
       table "It had an empathic imprint on it Lela... I think they
       were taken away before the place was leveled..."
       He then walked over to one of the walls and looked at the
       blueprints for the compound "Gary got these for me.. We found
       mom and dad's weapons here.." pointing to one of the segmented
       sections that he supposed were living quarters. He then added "I
       found her necklace and ring here." pointing to a hallway that
       led away from the building. He seemed almost obsessive of it as
       he spoke "They are alive Lela. They have to be!" a slight manic
       look in his eyes as he looked at her.

       Lela sighed, "Joseph their bodies were identified! They are
       laying in cold storage! They are dead. I wish I was wrong but
       they are!" Lela felt tears fall down her face. "Why are you
       doing this to yourself? To me? I loved them too and I don't want
       them to be dead but it's a god damn fact you are going to drive
       yourself mad thinking they are alive!" She walked over and
       grabbed a hold of Joseph she wrapped her arms around him and
       hugged him to her tightly. I love you, I am your sister and I am
       going to prove it to you so you don't drive yourself to
       insanity." she took his hand in hers and pulled him towards the
       door. "Come on we are going to the cold storage." she led him
       out of his quarters and down to where the bodies of their family
       lay. She hesitated at the door all of sudden unsure of what she
       was doing her resolved slipped a little but then she approached
       the casket with her mothers name engraved. She flipped open the
       latches and opened the casket. She knew her mothers body had
       been burned but she wasn't ready for the sheer impact of it. The
       chared body before made her heart ache even more. Outwardly she
       showed nothing kept her mind under lock and key she turned to
       look at Jospeh then removed the tricorder from her belt. Taking
       a deep breath she opened it her hands trembling.

       HANGAR BAY | USS VEROTO-A
       The Fighters were lined up in neat rows, by squadron. All had
       been painted in shades of reds and oranges, to resemble the
       Phoenix that was the symbol of Lima Fleet. Now, all had black
       bands painted on their wings, and across the Squadron Insignia
       on their noses.
       Gary entered the hangar, carrying the folded up flag that had
       draped Kira's body. The pilots and support teams assembled
       around him to support him. He raised the flag over his head.
       "This is why we fight, for our families!" He said, climbing the
       ladder to his fighter and placing the flag on the front of the
       console, the Federation seal facing out through the forward
       canopy. "They killed our family. From here on out, it's
       personal, people." everyone snapped to and saluted. Gary
       returned their salutes. "We will fight to the last man, to the
       last ship. Until our phasers burn out and the last ounces of
       fuel are burned. We don't stop, we don't quit, and we give no
       quarter."

       ON:
       [font=times new roman]U.S.S. Veroto | Morgue[/font]
       Joseph followed behind his sister as she led him to the morgue.
       He was quite skeptical of what she was trying to prove. Once
       finally inside the morgue he could see Lela hesitating as she
       opened up the coffin and started to pull out her tricorder. He
       gently reached over and placed his hands on hers. He then spoke
       "Lela. Stop. Just stop. I know what I am talking about. They
       aren't dead. If you don't believe me just check for yourself."
       opening his mind to her.
       Lela turned to look at her brother determination set in. She
       scanned the body before her and tilted her head to the side.
       "There is something wrong with this body" Lela tried tuning her
       tricorder and frowned. "Did Abby review the findings of
       Starfleet medical?" Lela asked keeping herself closed off.
       He furrowed his brow some and brought up the records on the
       body on his PADD. He then shook his head and spoke "No. She
       didn't review or confirm the findings..." sounding a little
       pissed off about it. He looked back at her and spoke "I am
       telling you. Mom, Dad.... Jenna... They are alive Lela..."
       Lela shook her head, this is so confusing. My tricorder says
       its her but then there is something else underlying it." Lela
       looked back at Joseph. She took hold of his hand and put her
       hand on to the body. The feel of the chard skin made her stomach
       twist into a knot but she held firm and opened her mind. At
       first there were flashes, but the images were disjointed the
       impression messed with. She closed her eyes and focused letting
       the information flow through her to her brother as well. Her
       mothers face came in to view she was talking. Then there was
       another flash, her mother running away. A ship as her mother,
       jon, and Jenan boarded then an explosion.
       He had tensed up when he touched the body with her. He closed
       his eyes and watched the images flow before his eyes. He growled
       slightly as his hand stiffened some. He opened his eyes and
       looked over at Lela. Joseph wanted so badly to just yell at her
       that he was telling her the truth, but he wanted her to see for
       her self.
       Lela sighed. "Alright, I beileve you. However how are we going
       to convince my dads, danny, and Star Fleet command for that
       matter?"
       Joseph looked at her as she spoke. He grinned slightly "Gary is
       already with me on this. How do you think I got the blueprints
       and aerial shots of the compound. Danny should be easy to bring
       around. As for Star Fleet? Fuck them. I will resign my
       commission and steal the Veroto if I need to. But I know they
       are alive."
       Lela sighed, "I don't think that will be necessary, I will talk
       to my dad, show him what I have seen, maybe that will change his
       mind." Lela closed the casket then turned to leave. "If they are
       alive where are they though? We weren't able to see where they
       were going if only I had seen the helm controls I could have
       seen the course they had set." Frustration edged in her voice as
       she walked with him back to his quarters. "Anything you have
       found so far give us any leads?"
       Once back in his quarters where he knew that they would not be
       over heard Joseph spoke up “I don't have much to go on. I
       mean...” He waved around rather dismissively at the walls “This
       is all Gary and I have found so far. I know its not enough... I
       swear though we find this bastard and I will cut every inch of
       his body. He tried to steal my family from me.... My father, our
       mother, my fiancee and my child!” He was breathing rather
       heavily as he stood there. His face flushed, eyes brighter than
       usual.
       Lela had learned long ago how to project a calming feeling over
       someone she did this now she knew it would need to be with a lot
       of energy to calm him down. "Easy Joseph, I am on your side
       here. Sit down lets talk this out. What do we know so far about
       the leader?"
       He slowly sat down, the anger subsiding for the moment. He
       sighed softly and spoke “From what I've read his name is
       Kernada. He is from first and he despises all non humans. He
       hates the offspring of humans and aliens even more.” He stood up
       and headed to the portable fridge that he had in the room
       grabbing two packs of blood and offering her one.
       Lela took the blood gratefully and sunk her fang into it to
       drink. "It has to be more then that." she sat there for a moment
       drinking. "Have you hacked moms computer? Wait what am I saying,
       I'm the only one that can do that." Lela got up and walked over
       to Josephs desk. "She would have to send reports back right, I
       mean when she could. So there must be something in Starfleet
       intelligence files." Lela sat down and pulled up the computer
       she set to work by passing the security systems.
       He sunk his own fangs in to his pack, draining it dry in
       seconds. He sat down on the chair and watched her as she went to
       work. He then spoke “There isn't anything on the Veroto's
       mainframe I can say that much.. I hacked mom's access codes a
       while ago.” He stood up walking over to her and looking over her
       shoulder.
       "Well I am not looking for moms access right now" she said
       having discovered as much herself. "a few more seconds" Lela was
       concentrating hard she was good with computers but Starfleets
       security was tighter then any she had worked with before the
       intelligence department even more so. "Here we go, Krenanda,
       leader of the disciples of Achbarri. Mission is to wipe out
       Starfleet. Something about having a beef with the way Starfleet
       run things. Rumored to be responsible for a multitude of crazy
       shit and about 1500 starfleet personnel deaths. Rumored to have
       substandered weapons and ship capabilities that he and his thugs
       have stolen."
       He glared as he looked at the computer screen. He hated the
       look of the man as he fist clenched, ripping the fabric of the
       seat. He then spoke “He can hate all he wants. Hate won't
       protect him from my wrath I will tell you that much.” He stood
       up straight and then spoke “Does he have any relatives?
       Anything?”
       Lela was sifting through more information when it happened.
       The screen went blank then an image appeared the face was that
       of the man from
       the file she was just looking at. “Citizens of the Federation,
       allow me to introduce myself…”
       he started. “Running a trace on the signal” Lela said working
       quickly.
       “My name is Prophet Krenada” he smiled warmly; Lela could
       feel the charisma exuding off of him. “It seems a few months ago
       the Federation
       decided to infiltrate my group. This cannot be tolerated. The
       Federation is
       falling. Everyone knows it, they have failed in their attempts
       to stop me.” Krenada
       reached behind him and grabbed a woman from behind him. Lela
       could see she was
       naked and then her mother’s face came in to the screen. Her
       mother was naked
       her tail and ears had been restored. “This is Fleet Admiral Kira
       Phaserman from
       the Federation, she and her companions…” he pulled Kira out of
       view by her hair
       so they could see Jonathan and Jenna. Lela could see Jenna was
       in a lot of
       pain. She looked to be biting her lip hard and fighting not to
       scream. Jonathan
       was pushed closed to her speaking softly in her ear they too
       were naked. “My
       demands are simple, Starfleet will released the people from my
       organization and
       give them a galaxy class star ship in return I will return my
       three prisoners.”
       Krenada yanked Kira by the hair again his lips pressed against
       Kiras next. “If
       not then I shall kill them one by one for all to see. Starting
       with this pretty
       little thing, now I am not unreasonable I understand it takes
       time to arrange these
       things you have 3 days. If I haven’t received word from my
       people that they
       have been released with a ship then she will die and another
       will die the next
       day then I will wait till this one’s child is born and kill her.
       Don’t worry
       the child will be loved and cared for by me.” He grinned
       wickedly and cut the
       transmission.
       "Oh god Joseph mom did you see her she is hurt and Jenna I
       think shes in labor" Lela burried her face in Joe's chest.
       Joseph held his sister close to him for a moment. It was all he
       could do to keep from destroying his room. After a few moments
       he slowly pulled away from her and spoke, his voice dangerously
       low “Follow me..” Heading right out of his door and pushing past
       some ensigns, one of whom flew pretty well from the force of him
       pushing past. There was nothing more that he wanted right now
       than to wreak havoc in the corridor's of the  ship. Instead with
       Lela in tow he started for the closest turbolift.
       Lela followed, she tried to exert her calming influence on him.
       She could sense that he was barely holding it together. "Where
       are we going?"
       He could feel her trying to calm him again but there was too
       much for her to try and cover. He then spoke “We are going to
       the bridge.” his fists clenched so hard he was starting to draw
       blood. He stepped on to the turbolift and waited for her to get
       on before ordering for the bridge.
       Lela followed when the turbolift opened to the bridge there was
       a buzz Lela realized that everyone must have seen what they had.
       Krenada had shown on every viewer on the ship. "Dad!" Lela said
       as she hurried past Joseph. "She's alive they all are we have
       to... we have to save them. I.. I traced the signal at least
       partly."
       Joseph followed behind his sister and waited for her to finish.
       The look in his eye was unmistakable, he wanted blood, he wanted
       Krenada. He then spoke when he finished, his voice bordering on
       insubordination and ordering him “We need to get him Baj. We
       need to get him NOW!” he bellowed out the last word almost by
       mistake, the majority of the bridge crew stopping in their
       tracks and watching him.

       Danny saw the video in his office. He was pissed and ready for a
       fight, but part of him knew 1-Delta needed help. Without really
       thinking about it, he placed a secure call to Camp Gieger,
       Starbase Leatherneck.
       "Yes, General?" Said the voice of Lt. Colonel Ben Pierce.
       "You see that video?"
       "Just caught it.are we moving?"
       "Yes. Get your asses out here on the double." Danny ordered.
       "Yes sir. One SMU will be there shortly."
       As the line was terminated, Danny stood and left for the bridge.
       On the way he found Praxis. You call in the hitsquad yet?"
       Praxis asked.
       "Yeah. They are on their way. I suppose I should tell Baj?"
       Danny said, entering the turbolift. "Bridge."
       "Probably. I'm sure he'd appreciate knowing you invited 24 type
       A killers aboard his ship."
       "As MARSOC CG, One SMU's deployments are at my discretion."
       Danny said.
       Entering the bridge, Danny looked around. "Commodore, as Marine
       Special Ops Commander, I've taken the liberty of mobilizing my
       special missions unit. I presume of course, we are going to be
       kicking in doors and punching people in the face?"

       Baj looked between Lela and Joseph, and Danny, taking in the
       three distinct and different ways he was just spoken to. He
       blinked and took a moment to look at the three of them.
       Finally he looked at Danny, "Perfect, alert me as soon they
       arrive."
       He turned to Lela, "Excellent, give us a heading." He pointed to
       the Helm.
       Baj turned back to Joseph and looked him in the eye, his voice
       hard, "And don't worry, Commander, we will get him."

       Lela nodded she hurried over to the helm and gave cam the
       heading. It would take them to the edge of a nebula.

       It took just seven hours for the Atlantis to catch the Veroto.
       Atlantis beamed the Special Missions unit aboard, along with
       their gear before veering sharply away, headed to cause all
       manner of hate and discontent with the Banor.
       Danny met the team. "Permission to come aboard?" Colonel Pierce
       asked.
       "Granted." Danny said, returning Ben's salute. Ben then
       introduced his team: Executive Officer First Matriarch K'Shani
       Marlow; Operations Officer Captain Nathaniel Thames; Chief
       Medical Officer CWO2 David Masters, Master Sergeant Kate
       McMillian, Master Sergeant Kalos Algar, Petty Officer 1st Class
       Ashlie Adams and Staff Sergeant John Roberts were the key
       players.
       Danny inspected the troops, then headed to the bridge. Ben
       circled his troops. "We know why we're here. This one's for
       family." He said, locking eyes with John Roberts for a moment,
       "When we go in, we're expected to punch some people in the face.
       Let's make sure we break noses and crack teeth."
       Danny reported to the bridge to announce the arrival of 1SMU. He
       felt better having the Operators here. This kind of op was their
       bread and butter.

       One SMU guys make sure you ID your charactor in the top line if
       posting as them.

       Lela sat at the operations station watching the readout as they
       approched the nebula."all stop!" She shouted "da... commodore i
       am getting readings of highly carosive gases our shields won't
       be  of much help if we stay in there to long a shuttle is out
       and I'm not sure how long the cloak will last in there." She
       reported.
