Nick walked out of the office, intent on headed to sickbay. As he passed the training area he caught notice of an Andorian pilot studying a display. Was that K'Ryi? He asked himself. He tried to hide as he studied her. It was her, only in a pilot's uniform.

Ryi noticed the young officer trying to hide and staring at her. He smiled and gave a friendly wave back. Nick blushed and Ryi let out a laugh. She then approached him. "Are you lost? You're a long way from the bridge."

"Um, no." Nick stumbled. "I'm trying to join the fighter corps. I was just talking to the senior pilots."

"Oh, I hope you join us." She smiled at him. "I think we need to introduce ourselves."

"Why?" Nick asked, not remembering that she had never met him before. "Oh, oh yes. I'm Ensign Nick Hall. Your K'Ryi sh'Amlari."

Ryi was surprised. "How did you know my name?. I mean, yes, that's my formal name but I'm just known as Ryi Amlari. I also go by Taffy."

"Taffy?" Nick was a little puzzled. "Alright, I kind of like that."

"Hey, how about we ditch this place and get some food at the Dragon?" Taffy suggested.

"Um...sure," Nick replied, forgetting his appointment in sickbay. The two went off to the Dragon.

Meanwhile, Jack looked at Ironhide. "Does the hospital know he is coming?"

"Oh yeah," Ironhide responded lightly. "I spoke with Doctors R'Shav and Sokanon," he explained. "I informed them of what I wanted and that nobody else was to see him." he paused. "Maybe he forgot.. Or maybe he's onto us." he shook his head. "That doesn't seem right though."

Nick and Ryi were in the Green Dragon enjoying cheeseburgers and fries. "The food here is great," Nick told Ryi as he put down several fries.

"Slow down there turbo," Ryi told him. "No one is going to take your food."

Back in the hanger, Jack looked at Ironhide. "Want to go to the hospital for some answers?"

Ironhide nodded his head. "Yeah, love to bud." he responded. "shall we?"

The two officers went down to sickbay. "So, where is Ensign Hall?" Jack asked.

Doctor Tirothyn R'Shav blinked as she regarded Dirty Jack. "I have no idea. I've not seen him as yet." as Sokanon came over from the desk. "Nope, he's not checked in yet."

Jack looked at Ironhide. "You may have been right." He looked up "Computer: Location of Ensign Jack Hall?"

"Ensign Jack hall is in the Green Dragon," it replied.

Jack looked back at Ironhide. "So now what?"

Ironhide raised an eyebrow. "I'm stumped," he commented. "Okay, so let me get all of this right, this kid shows up out of nowhere, wants to join the fighter corps, makes nice with you, eyeballs your Ex-wife and then ends up stuffing his face in the green dragon. It doesn't add up... Is he a spy for someone?" he paused. "Maybe it's HDA. Those guys have been active." he paused. "I have a bad feeling all of a sudden."

Jack sighed. "Alright, let's call security and let them know what's going on." Jack tapped his comm badge. "Security this is Group Master Jack Hassel. There is a man in the Green Dragon named Ensign Nick Hall. He may be a possible infiltrator. Please remand him into custody."

The response came quickly. "Copy that, Group Master, we're rolling now." came Jorge Hular's voice. Ironhide smiled. "We want him alive and in one piece Lieutenant. If you can arrange it."

"We shall see, sir."

A few minutes later, the doors to the massive lounge opened and in walked Lieutenant Jorge Hular, he had three guys with him. "Alright guys, secure these entrances. I'm going to go and find this Nick guy." and with that, he sighed as he went into the crowd, counting on his size and mass to provoke the target.

Nick noticed the security guards and in particular Hular. "Oh shit." He told himself.

"What's wrong?" Taffy asked.

"Please get out of here, I don't want to lose you again." Nick stood up and pulled out a hand out phaser.

"What?" Taffy was confused. "Why are you armed?"

"Get up and leave now," Nick ordered and Taffy quickly got up as Nick made his way back farther into the bar.

Jorge turned his head, locking eyes with Nick. He slowly smiled as he began making his way over towards Nick. He noticed the hand phaser so he slapped his combadge. "Security, send me some more guys to the Green Dragon. My quarry has a phaser."

"Copy that, teams three and four are on their way to you now."

Nick pointed the phaser at Hular. "Don't come any closer. I don't want to kill you." He warned.

"Alright," Hular commented. "But let's take this outside so we don't need to bother these good people at their meals." he paused. "I can see you have an issue with me but let's not make a scene." he locked eye contact with two of his other guys, telling them to back off. "Let's go somewhere where we can sort this out. Alright. I'm not going to do anything stupid."

Meanwhile, Captain Neban Hular came back to his table nearby with three drinks in his massive hands, he passed two of them to his wife who grinned at him. "I think Jorge is in trouble." their third person at the table commented.

Neban turned his head as he spotted his younger brother, facing down a young man with a phaser. "Oh shit," he muttered softly.

Tienn Ezas shook her head. "Don't do it Neban," she said quietly. "Let Jorge make his attempt first." as Neban reached into his uniform jacket for one of the four Kligats he kept secreted on him, he produced a throwing star in his right hand. "If Jorge can't then whoever that is, will not live to regret his mistakes."

Tienn Ezas knew better than to argue with her husband where his kin was concerned, he would protect them with whatever he had at his disposal. This Oath of honor extended to her relatives who were in Starfleet and had recently expanded to cover her mother and her second husbands family too. Tienn raised an eyebrow as Warrant Officer Tienn Durin watched in silence. "Wait for it," Durin commented with a gentle smile on her lips.

Jorge regarded his opponent as he slowly moved away from the crowd so he was alone. "Let's not do this today. Come on bud, put down the phaser and we can talk about this. Nobody is going to harm you, you have my word on that." Jorge really wanted to reason with the other guy.

"Don't fuck with me!" Nick yelled. "I know you are related to that murderer!" Nick's eyes widened as when he saw Neban. "You!" He snarled at the Starfleet Captain.

Jorge raised his hands slowly. "I don't have any relatives other than myself with that rank and Neban is presently having lunch with his wife. He's right over there. Maybe you should ask himself." Jorge commented with a grin. "Besides good luck getting anything out of him, he tends to spend his time with his command, the Avalon and if he's not doing that then he's with his small army of children or he's off with his wife but hey, it's nice to see the man still in love with his wife, the way he was when they met. Y'know what I mean?" Jorge inquired, a smile on his lips. "Hey, come on bud. Put down the phaser. and we can talk this over with a drink at the bar. I'll buy. This doesn't need to happen like this."

"Stop fucking with me!" Nick screamed. "You can't-fool me!" Nick looked around and saw that he was surrounded.

"Please Nick." Ryi pleaded. "Please go with them. They won't hurt you."

"I wish I could believe that." He replied to her. "You're not taking me alive!" He shouted at the crowded bar. He adjusted the dial on his phaser. It started to emit a high pitched whine, indicating the self-destruct had been initiated.

Neban glanced at his wife, she nodded to him as he lifted his hand with the Klongat in it before he snapped his hand forward, throwing the small weapon like it was a guided missile. He saw it hit its mark as the front half of the Phaser simply disintegrated.

Jorge Hular slowly smiled, he breathed as the phaser stopped whining. "I was serious about that drink at the bar. Now I, unfortunately, don't have a choice in the matter anymore as I have to arrest you for weapons violations. Come on peacefully and we can get this sorted out."

Tienn Ezas grinned at her husband. "Impressive. Nice arm there."

"I keep my eyes sharp. Helps the kids are such willing students." Neban commented with a smile.

"Wait. What?. You throw things at them?" Tienn Durin inquired, clearly aghast at the idea.

"No," Neban answered. "I'm teaching them how to throw Klongats. They help me hone my own skills and thus I teach them what it means to be Capellan," he explained. "I would never throw Kilgats at my own children, not even in jest." as he produced another Kligat which he handed to Durin.

The younger woman blinked as she held it in her hand. "It's so light."

"Don't touch the edges, they are razor sharp," Ezas commented to her niece. "When I've had a rough day, throwing a few of those into targets really gets the rage out of my system." the older Bajoran female explained.

Meanwhile. Nick turned around and picked up a stool and started to try and swing his way out of the bar. "You won't take me!" Nick yelled.

Jorge raised an eyebrow as he narrowed his eyes, while his other guys all seemed poised to leap on Nick, he raised a hand then he waved his hand away from him a few times, his guys all slowly backed away.

"I don't know you. We've never met before so why don't we put the barstool down, we can still talk about this." Hular commented. "Look. I mean you no harm. If I was going to stun you, I'd have done it already," he commented. "You seem convinced I am going to hurt you. Look I just want you to stop waving that thing around so nobody gets hurt, least of all you or me." he paused. "Did I wrong you in another life?"

"I know what you did to those four guards," Nick told him. He then jumped up onto the bar. He swung wildly at anyone near him.

Jorge sighed softly. "I have no idea of what you are ranting and raving about," he commented. "Are you on drugs?" the large Capellan asked.

"Get away from me!" Nick yelled as he threw the barstool at Jorge.

Jorge simply caught the barstool with both hands, the loud thwack as he did which told everyone nearby that Hular had just broken something. Meanwhile, two of the other security troopers simply stunned Hall and the third guy grabbed him as he fell off of the bar.

Nick somehow dodged the shot. In doing so, however, he slipped off the bar and fell back into the shelves of bottles. Nick and the shelves of bottles fell onto the deck in a loud crash. Afterward, Nick was lying still under a pile of broken glass and spilled liquor.

"Nick!" Taffy screamed as she jumped the bar to attend to him. She looked up at Hular, "He needs to get to sickbay!"

Hular dropped the barstool onto the decking, he sighed. "Awww... Shit, that hurt," he commented softly before he went to retrieve his brothers Klongat. "I'll take this." he picked up the throwing star as he let out a sigh. "Take him to a cell," Hular commented. "Then contact Captain Mueller. Let's get this sorted out and find out why he was so terrified of me."

"Right away Lieutenant." the man responded as Hular added. "I'm going to sickbay to get my hands looked at."

Nick was beamed away as Hular regarded Taffy. "Why don't you come down to the station house and tell us what happened?. What was it about this situation and why was he protecting you from me?"

"Whatever you say, Lieutenant. I'm not sure why he acted the way he did though. I've only known him a couple of hours." Taffy replied.

Hular nodded as he regarded the Andorian Shen before him. "All the same, I'm still going to want your statement," he responded in a quiet tone. "Come on Ma'am." he said to Ryi.
