Lieutenant Telios Wintersnow sighed softly, had she known what lay ahead for her she may have turned around and forget she had ever come here but she did not know what was to befall her as she handed her PADD to the Ensign on duty who was checking everyone's paperwork.

"Lieutenant." he greeted her politly.

"Ensign." she responded as he checked her over. "Yep, you're expected and you're clean." he handed her back her paperwork, she commented. "I had a shower this morning... do I smell?" she inquired.

The Ensign mearly raised an eyebrow but otherwise said nothing, this impressed Telios a great deal. "Thank you Ensign." and with that the taller then average alien woman stepped forward onto the USS Shadow, as she did her mind kepot drifting back to one of her first assignments, the memories rose in her mind as she stopped before she walked into something.

Ensign Telios Wintersnow smiled as she lifted her rifle, she beheld the dark ground as she had been assigned as a releif for this patrol of Chin'toka, her squad leader lifted his rifle "Lets hunt those freaks of nature... and my trigger finger is itchy."

Telios looked from left to right as one of the others with her said. "I thought I saw a rock move, Commander."

"Shut it Grim.." was the blunt and cold response that Telios had been expecting. "Sensor sweeps say this area is clear sir." right before it all went to hell as a soft grunt was heard as one of the patrol fell to the ground, dead. A rather evil looking blade of unknown origin sticking out of his face as he fell over.

"Open Fire." the patrol leader roared as the guy next to him added his own speech. "And rapture'll pour from mouth's of steel as I send ya ta hell!" the Commander snarled as he opened fire on the incomming dozen or so Jem'Hadar, Telios lifted her rifle but as she sighted her first target, a Jem'Hadar's throwing knife embedded itself into her left arm, she growled. "I've been through Tyra and Bolarus. You ain't taking me down on Chin'toka bitches!" she snarled as she hurled a rather large boulder at a Jem'Hadar group, she smiled as she crushed three of them with debres before she swung her rifle, which connected with a Jem'Hadar's skull, breaking it like a overripe watermelon.

She then swung her rifle off to her right as she fired off a half dozen rounds into a second Cardassian who fell at her hooves, now dead as she growled. "Come then..." before gathering her psionic strength before sending out a shockpulse in all directions. "Commander... I think we're in trouble." she commented as she reached with her right hand, yanking the knife out of her left arm. "You ain't taking me that easy dogs!"

Telios blinked as she came back to the present, why was she thinking of Chin'Toka now and why today when she'd not thought about it in years, she shook her head as she resumed her original mission, to find her new home on this rickety barge of the dammned.
