Merrik Doon held up a data pad for all to see. The information on this is all we know about the lab on Ziphine, which isn't much. But we do know this, the girls have been moved. In fact we think the Empire knows we're onto them and have moved all the girls to one location." Merrik tells the assembled quartet. "But the fact that this lab is still running gives us hope that a quick raid could come up with a location of the new facility" "What kind of personell do they have there?" Seesha asks. "What kind of security will we face?" "The security detail are all that's left. It consists of twenty clones from the 115th Legion. Evidently the Empire has been having trouble with the naturally born Stormtroopers over this breeding program. I'd love to get a probe droid into the place to find out more, but those things are much too big." "Don't you people have micro probes? Joshua asks. "No. We would love to get our hands on the miniaturization tech that your people possess, but that captain of yours refuses to help. She's always going on about some damned Prime Directive of some such nonsense. We really want one of those replicators. It would make our war end much more quickly if we had the ability to make those. But Captain Jenn is adamant." Joshua smirks and rubs the top of his head. "I can give you that. In fact Ano and Lele are setting one up right now." "What? You have one?" "Oh you bet. And whats more, we can give you all the information you need to make them." "Wouldn't that get you in trouble with your Commander?" "It's an automatic death sentence. It's a violation of the Federation's Prime Directive." Colonel Doon looks at Joshua in horror. "What kind of government do you have in this Federation?" "It's a gentle socialist dictatorship. But it wasn't alway like that." A concerned look crosses Kirk's face. "Have any of the Excalibur's crew jumped ship like me?" "Yeah, but they quickly leave for other parts of the Galaxy. You people would make great spies, because we've never seen them at any space port." "That's because they are not leaving. They are being kidnapped by their captain." Joshua fills Merrik in on the transporter system. "My superiors must be informed of this. It's got to stop. Especially if they are being executed. But how are they finding them?" "Every member of Star Fleet has a tracking device implanted in them when they enter the Academy. It makes it easier to find them if they become lost, or desert... like me. Except I had mine altered. I can turn it off. And I did." "I've got to leave. Now." With that, he heads up the passage. Everyone looks stunned by the revelations of Joshua about his people. Well almost eveyone. As Mulk walks by Seesha he asks her is she going to pull her tongue back into her head. Which of course broke the tension. They all noticed her drooling over Merrik. "Hey Merrik!" Pink shouts, "where's Kinna and the girls?" Merrik stops and just says that Kinna will be aboard as soon as she finishes her conversation with Skywalker.
