Re:ST: Battlefront "Hackers"
A scaly hand pressed a hypospray against the back of the pointed ear draped in blonde hair. Eddie’s eyes opened under serious grogginess looking back up at Turek. “Hey doc, what happened?”
“I informed the Orions that you were an expert on hologram programming to get them to let me tend to your injuries.” Turek said, grinning slightly. Eddie smiled through a scowl.
The young lieutenant sat up and looked around sick bay. There were two Orions guarding each door, and a handful of others guarding the medic office and supply. All of his officers and the engineering technicians from the lab were on various beds, unconscious. Turek followed Eddie’s eyes and saw they were resting on Solek. “He’s stable, but they won’t let me give him a stimulant to wake him.”
“Where’s Mr. Barclay?” Eddie asked, feeling a wave of concern wash across him.
“This was all they brought me and it was not pleasant trying to get them to let me run sick bay as I could. It seems the LTMH programs that usually run the place were deactivated so I’m not sure what kind of help I can be.”
“You’re fine, doctor, keep treating the injured.” Eddie commented as an Orion approached the table.
“What are you doing?” The green thug growled as he gripped his rifle tightly.
“I’m just treating a patient.” Turek said quickly.
The Orion punched Turek, causing him to fall to the ground. “You were told to do no such thing!”
“You told me to treat him for the lab!” There was another punch.
“You were not told to wake him!” Another punch. Eddie launched into the Orion and started throwing swings. The Orion turned from Turek to Eddie and started to return the punches. Green blood flew everywhere before more Orions jumped on Eddie and pinned him down on the bed.
“Stop this at once!” a decorated Orion Thug shouted into the room. The thugs stopped throwing punches into Eddie and let him sit up. A few glances to the thugs told them to back away. The new Orion pointed a disruptor rifle at Eddie. “You. This way.”
Eddie stood, gingerly and popped the cartilage in his nose to stop the bleeding. “I’ll cooperate if the rest of my crew is awakened and not harmed further.”
The two leaders locked into a stare-down. Eddie was unblinking and pressing the thought that he wasn’t going to budge into the Orion’s mind. The stalemate broke with a win for Eddie: the Orion grunted and the guards moved back to the doors. “Let the medic do his job.”
Eddie followed in front of the Orion with the business end of his disruptor rifle pressed into Eddie’s back. He glanced around with his good eye and noticed the hallways showed traces of critters present but none were around. After a turbolift ride Eddie was led to the holomatrix laboratory. Inside, Mr. Barclay stood nervously at the control terminal while the Doctor stood on the platform, immobilized. The Orion shoved Eddie towards the terminal, “He’s moving too slow. I expect you to do better.”
Eddie glanced between the veteran Starfleet officers with concern. “How specifically has he been slow, and what’s been done to the Doctor?”
The Orion smirked hauntingly. “Your task is to extract the command protocols. No concern will be given to the original program. If you don’t obey, we’ll start killing hostages...starting with him.”
Eddie gulped.

Site back up.
The site should be back up and running now, but god knows I'm sure I've missed or forgotten something. If you see something that is currently missing that use to be here, let me know and I'll get to work on getting it back in. If you see any weird errors (other than the funky text in all the site articles and forum threads) let me know.
Other than that, what do you all think? Is the site faster?

I refuse to say Series Finale, damn brits LEARN AMERICAN LOL
Actually I totally agree, good point. I too prefer, at least when I remember, the American distinction between a season and a series.
Regarding Christmas, allegedly there's now a little uncertainty whether filming will go ahead! :-( Not a hugely authoritative source in my opinion though, so I'll wait for a mainstream announcement before I worry.
I'm torn on a favourite bit, mostly between "Fezzes are cool" and "Meeeeeercy!" :-D

Re:Doctor Who?...
It was awesome, awesome, lemon awesome. Loved it, and loved Smith, Gillan, Darvill & Kingston. I haven't felt so gleefully, gigglingly geeky in a very long time. And it's funny, every time I watch a Dr Who episode, for at least a quarter of an hour afterwards I feel Matt Smithily hyperactive. So much fun.
Of course now I'm just *dying* for the next series! lol At least there'll be a Christmas special to break up the wait.

Re:Doctor Who?...
We watched it last night, through not-entirely-legal means. (We borrowed it, you might say. But we fully intend to return it, someday.)
Loved it. My partner said it was the best episode of the series. And River rocks!
I also liked that they kept some mystery for next year (and beyond?). But I'm all worried about the ominous tone surrounding River. We know she kills the finest man she ever knew and ends up in prison, and that the Doctor doesn't know who she is, but will find out "soon."
And I loved the final "Time to say good-bye" scene. :-)

Re:ST: Battlefront "Hackers"
“Excellent work, Danar. Kill power to the holomatrix lab, we’re ready to transport officers to secure the room.” A female voice cooed over the communication system. Danar pressed a few keys on the console nearby and the computer responded with an error noise.
“The main computer is locked out!” Danar growled in protest. Desmond could easily hear through the waterlogged ears that the voice was not happy with that news.

Aron-Mu looked at the prone body of his captain. The Doctor had stopped the blood flowing from the gash on his side and he hadn’t moved since his impact with the ground. He wasn’t sure, but he suspected that his XO was close to deadif not already. “Mr. Barclay, are there any power nodes nearby that we can disrupt to kill the emitters?”
“I-I’m not sure but I believe there is one under the panel a few meters to the left.” The two engineers looked around in the direction of the panel: it was more exposed than the door.
“Gentlemen, whatever your decision, I need to get this man to sick bay as quickly as possible if there will be any chance for survival.” The Doctor reminded the urgency.
Outside the door, Solek and Hreowr scrambled in junction to open the door and cut the power. In true chaotic fashion, Hreowr succeeded opening the doors before Solek had cut the power, opening the door to the holomatrix lab and drawing intense fire from the shock trooper matrix that was currently holding dominance in the room. Solek scrambled, and yanked the core with little concern for safety or repair. Within seconds, the power to the holomatrix lab had died, and the emitters stopped functioning.
“Lt. Calvin are you all right?” Solek shouted into the room.
“No, Solek, he’s not.” Aron-Mu responded. The answer caused Solek to run into the room and see what he feared. P’murr followed closely and looked upon the engineers, the Doctor, and the few surviving technicians.
Before much movement could be made, Orion soldiers beamed in and held everyone at disruptor point. “Don’t try anything.”
The soldiers placed tags on each of the breathing officers and the entire group was quickly beamed to the command center. Shortly after they materialized, an ornately decorated Orion female appeared and immediately started verbally flaying Danar.
“You imbecile! I don’t want to see your face here until you bring me the station commander back here! Get lost!” She shouted kicking Danar out of the command center. She turned to look at Eddie, frowned, and then turned to the Doctor. “Is this the only uncorrupted hologram?”
“Yes, ma’am. He wasn’t connected to the library when the virus was launched.” Danar’s second reported.
“Have you found the ECH yet?”
“No, ma’am. There isn’t any file that seems to fit the description of a Starfleet captain that isn’t fictional.”
This was met with another scowl. “Are you telling me the virus was launched too early?”
The young officers listened closely piecing together that the Orions intended to steal the hologram that would become their captain. The female Orion looked back at them and frowned. “Knock them out, I don’t want them knowing what’s going on.”
Orion operatives moved to the ensigns and proceeded to knock them unconscious, leaving the Doctor still active. He couldn’t do anything, and just glared at the Orions in control. Before the rifle-butt hit Lt. Cmdr. Barclay, the female Orion halted the operative. “Hold it...we’ll need him to fix this mess.”
“The main computer is locked out!” Danar growled in protest. Desmond could easily hear through the waterlogged ears that the voice was not happy with that news.
