{Only humans forget their own history. If anything I said were true, I
would be a 6th Columnist, to work from within the system. And speaking
of systems, I do hope you enjoy whatever penal colony they sentence you
to.} 
 
Adam asked incredulously, "What are you talking about? No one is
forcing you to be here. You volunteered to join Starfleet. Why do you
even need to participate ... never mind interfere ... with the actions
of humaity?" 
 
If Shevab had had eyes, he wouod havw rolled them at the human's
stupidity and ignorance. 
 
{Did someone 'order' you to join the Brotherhood? Did some one order
you on this mission? I think not,,like you, I am working or would be
working for "The Cause'. Our actions and our very lives are pledged to
it, taking orders or volunteering as our superiors see fit. You Mr
Adam, are a pawn and have been expended in hopes of taking out a more
powerful piece in play. Were you even provided with an escape plan? Do
you think that firing a phaser inside a Federation station would not
set off alarms? Give yourself up now and I will ask leniency be show to
you.} 
 
Adam just laughed.  "You have got to be kidding me.  If I do that, I
would be arrested and would have accomplished nothing.  That does not
sound like the greatest idea, my silicon based friend."

Torgath turned back to the door and opened the panel to provide him
access to the manual override.  He pulled out the suction handle and
set it down.  Once it was in place, he turned to make sure that his
partner was ready.  When he was sure he was, he tugged the door open
and felt the rush of his partner as he ran by.
 
It probably would have amazed most people how quickly Geb could move
considering his massive size, but he was in the room in seconds and
dove at the human.  Since he knew that Shevab was a Horta it did not
take long to figure out who the antagonist was.

Adam went down and went down hard.  It was like being hit by an avalanche, and he was out cold before he could do or say anything in response to the newest arrival to the room.
