: : : : : : : : : : : : G'Morgh eyed Molor "I am aware of the problem with the grain." He said eying the bag and finally just reaching in and grabbing one of the moving lumps, which promptly bit him. The large klingon growled in pain and dropped the furry ball on the ground, it was now growling as it multiplied before their eyes.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : The boy that had found it originally stood shocked "Papa......" He said pointing at the now multiplied furry thing that were making their way back to the bag of grain. The larger ball charged at G'Morgh. This was definitely uncharacteristic of the creature.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : G'Morgh was less than pleased with the turn of events. He looked around and picked it up again with disdain "We will destroy this colony to purify it if this is the cause." He growled and then grabbed the vendor "Where did you get this from?" He demanded.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : The owner was dumbfounded "I don't know what it is..." He stammered as the creature growled again. The Klingon held it closer to the shop owner's head and it became increasingly aggressive.

: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : "Leave that man alone!" Molor said.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : "It's obvious that some third party is planting these.... Creatures... here. A person living on this planet would not want their crops to fail due to infestation."
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : "Furthermore, as we received their distress call first, and responded to it, under Neutral Zone Treaty, that makes our ship the primary first responder. So we will not let you destroy this colony. These people are under our protection."
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : "However. We can still use your assistance."
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : Molor
: : : : : : : : : : : XO
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : The furry creature multiplied again in G'Morgh's hand, the smaller balls now hurrying toward the grain purring and chirping while the elder one growled again and attempted to break free from the Klingon's grasp, the growling increasing, its only instinct to survive. To survive and feed and that was now even more complicated than originally anticipated.

: : : : : : : : : In the shadows another figure laid in wait. He didn't want Star Fleet interference and now had to alter plans to accomodate this. He fingers the hypospray in his hand and finally sees one of his quarry. Lt. Romanov walked into the square heading for the security offices. He stepped out of the shadows and quickly bumped into the officer injecting him with a fast acting paralytic and poison, before dropping a data pad with a warning to the rest of the crew of the Saracen.

: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Molor's attention was on G'Morgh. He warned the other Klingon, "So, if you don't put that creature back in the back of grain, and leave this man alome, I will see to it that you're placed in the brig of my ship. I'd rather have you working with me than against me."
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Molor
: : : : : : : : XO
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : G'Morgh looked at Molor "Fine." He said dropping the furry creatures back in the grain "This is not over." He said and stared at Molor "I suggest that you and your crew leave this area before anything else happens." He said in a threatening tone and turned to see several more Klingons coming up, anger on their faces. They confronted Molor "What is Star Fleet going to do to help us. You are only concerned about the others in this colony." They clamored at Molor.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : An angry crowd started to gather around Molor, he could see Romanov lying on the ground now unmoving. The populace was on edge and it was beginning to show.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Mouse of Nevermore
: : : : : :
: : : : : : "You people. back off!" Molor said. "I already helped that man from becoming tribble food. I've got an injured officer here that I need to get to my ship!"
: : : : : :
: : : : : : He tapped his comm badge.
: : : : : : =^=Molor to the Sara, I've got a man down here. It's Romanov.=^=
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Then he picked up the wayward data padd.
: : : : : : Molor
: : : : : : XO
: : : : :
: : : : : The PaDD carried a simple message "Leave New Shanghi IMMEDIATELY! YOU ARE NOT WANTED HERE!" Romanov was still alive, but unconscious.

: : : : Levi watched from the edge of the crowd. He had been sent to rendezvous with the Saracen crew and non of his former crew mates knew he would becoming back. A warm reception wouldn't be waiting for the former COS, he's enemies far outnumbered his allies. A few of the junior officers still reported back to him more out of fear than any sense of locality. Romanov appeared to be out of commission. Good. Hopefully he died. That would make getting his job and Cori on his side easier. Not bothering to pursue the injured CTO's assailant, Levi stepped out of the crowd and approached the XO.
: : : :
: : : : "Lt Keller, reporting for duty, sir. Looks like you could use a hand," Levi pretended to be concerned as he glanced at Romanov's still form. He motioned for two of the security jos to secure the perimeter."Are there any other teams down here sir? They may plan other attacks."
: : : :
: : : : Lt. Levi Keller (oncoming CTO)
: : :
: : : The angry Klingons looked at the newest arrival "More of you? Are you going to forcibly remove us from our homes?" G'Morgh said loudly "I demand that you leave immediately."
: : :
: : : G'Morgh grabbed Levi's arm and pushed him out of the way "Leave NOW!"
: : :
: : : Mouse of Nevermore
: :
: : "We were just responding to the distress call that your govenor sent us," Molor said. "If we leave now what happens to your grain? How do you think the Klingons will respond? Oh and you can bet that they will. Imagine a fleet of Klingon destroyers fire their disruptors on your world."
: :
: : "Lt, Keller, is it? Our Chief Tactical Officer, Mr. Romanov is down. I need to to fill in for him."
: :
: : "As for you G'Morph, I would love to leave you to the tender mercies of the Klingon Empire. But I don't think so."
: :
: : Molor
: : XO
:
: G'Morgh growled "You will leave us now." He said "I have a ship in orbit that is ready to fire on this colony if you do not remove yourself." He said forcefully "Contact B'Ator." He said to his compatriots "Tell them to prepare to fire on my command unless you can give me a damn good reason not to." He said glaring at Molor.

Molor harumphed. "I can do that right now, Sir," he said.

"You see, people?" He called out to the crowd. "If we stay, he'll order his ship to fire on your planet! Think of what that will do to your fields? And your towns?"

"If we go, what do you think they'll do then?"

"If you shoot at this planet while we're on it, the Sara will intercept you and protect this world. It will mean war. Is that what the Klingon Empire wants?"

"Or will you give us the time that we need to fix this and save these people?"
