=/\= The Captain's Ready Room =/\=

As the Captain sat down he saw that the message required an unheard of level of security. With a quick set of commands the Ready Room was completely sealed from all sensors and outside activity. After the Captain's voice authentication was verified he was astonished at what passed across the screen...

As soon as the new being had appeared Darka'Tal was made aware of his presence.

*What is this new being? He is not human,* thought the Darka. As he finished this thought the Queen screamed into his head.

*My Queen, please forgive me! I will get them back, all of them,* Darka'Tal responded in near agonizing pain.

With a quick thought he sent soldiers to the location that the new being was at.

*These beings are in for a surprise when they find out what I am,* Three thought as he quickly moved through the corridors towards the last known location of Ensign Colon.

He was prepared to deal with all that came between him and his destination. He hoped to limit his contact, but he knew that was impossible.

As if his thought had brought it about, three Rennas drones came around the corner. They each seemed to stop for a second as they looked at him. Not knowing why, nor caring, Three suddenly rushed them; the first went down in a fraction of a second as Three's fist crushed its skull, and the other two followed shortly after. Unlike the others of the Horizon, Three's body was extremely dense and hard, his skin closer to armor than flesh. It was harder than that of the Rennas.

It took him several minutes to reach the location of Ensign Colon. When he did he was confronted by several other Rennas, including what Three believed to be a doctor judging by the way he held the needle in his hand.

"I would let the Human go now if you wish to remain alive," Three stated in an almost dead voice.

If a Rennas could smile it seemed to be doing so now. It turned to the others and uttered something in its language. Shortly after that the other Rennas rushed at Three. Three lowered himself slightly and pulled out a blade no living being had yet to speak of, and waiting for the Rennas to close on him before he rose in a rush. With a swipe of his hands, two Rennas collapsed to the ground, headless. The others soon followed. Within 15 seconds Three was standing before the Doctor. Three could sense his surprise and fear.

"If you wish to live I suggest you leave now." Three stated in his dead voice.

The Rennas seemed to think it over, but suddenly brought one of its arms towards Three's neck. Three quickly blocked it and raised his weapon to the head of the Rennas physician. Once the Rennas doctor was dead Three quickly attached the beacon to Ensign Colon; within seconds he too was beamed aboard the Horizon.

*Now I must simply get to a location that the Horizon can detect me. Something tells me this is going to be very difficult. I will escape this anthill, but I am sure to receive some severe injuries.*

With that thought in mind and his need to accomplish his assigned mission, Three swiftly moved towards an exit he hoped would allow the Horizon to beam him out.
