Garrat had showed up at the doorway to the imprompt interogation room just as the German had started his last commentary.  He listened but felt it wise to wait until the enterview was over before commenting on the situation.

  ..If  i should  Tell you... They Vill loose a Valuable contact..und the Earth Vill be  Helpless...  he  groans  again.

 Hack frowned and shook his head.... Tell us.... now that we know one  is here.. we'll find them... If you don't?...  we will  take yhou whole unit   down  to the Hold, and shove  one of your people  out, every time  I ask, and you don't  answer... that means .. I will ask you one time..then all of yoou.. Recovery or not... will go down to the hold..now.. and you'll have   14 more times  to answer before you, yourself  is launched out.. To make it  interesting... If   we launch even one of your  People  out, and someone else  tells us.. I will personally throw you out , for letting a member of your unit die  , needlessly..

 ..Now?  That the rules  are  set....

 he  looked  Von Straff in the eye..Who..is..your  Contact...

 ..I Vill not say...

 Hack  Nodded   and turned to Roy,..Gather the Germans.. take them to the  Hold.. including   Von Straff and  those in  recovery...

 Stefi cleared   he r throat.....I must Protest,Admiral...

 ..you think you can stop it, Lt  Simmons?

 ..No Sir.. I am Chief  Med Tech... I must  Protest.. I did...carry on... she smiled darkly.

 ..I will COM   Hennigns  and Bale, I will see you all  down in the Hold..... Will and Maria  will help excort  the Germans   Down.. you might need others...  He walked out.

 ..YOU CANNOT DO THIS!!!!

Zob turned to Will and Maria, "Ill grab Von Straff you folks get the others" there was a coldness in his eyes as he walked over to Von Straff and picked him up forcefully and slung his crippled self over his shoulder, "You should of answered the question...." was all he said as he made his way down to the hold via Hacks orders.

   Garrat does his part to help but chooses to speak as they shift the prisoners. "Hey, Von Tersh, heres the deal.  You are working for people who side with the demons just to gain a little power.  Quickest way out of this is to change your allegiances.  It will be for the benifit of you and your men, but mostly it will be for the benifit of humanity and every other sentient species in the blck. "

   "By the hammer of Thor you have a turn coat Demon standing here.  If you don't believe it just ask him.  Ask any angel we have serving with us.  Gi-Fi doesn't like delta fleet because he can't control it.  No force has stood before us and lived.  Three enemy fleets and a hive ship have fallen in a day to this fleet.  Your choice is follow the orders of someone who want's power or somone who wants victory."

   "I cannot believe some one born of Germanic blood, the first blood harvested for the Einherjer, woul choose following orders over fighting for honor and glory of humanity.  Make your choice now.  Are you a human or a demon grunt in a human shell."

 Von Straff  scramed   in  pain and In Portest as  Zob  Lifted him Put. Stefi  watched   with Cold eyes as she COMed   the Med  techs  to wheel out the other  3  that were  In Recovery rooms

   Will and MAria    went out. Shoemaker   and Brooks  entered   , Brooks  sporting  his  SEC uniform  with the   Tartan  swatch   on his right arm.

 The  Moved to   the   Germans who were sitting    d down, making them stand Up  as  Zip Ties  were  Put  on  Wrists..

 ..Vat is Going On...!

 Hack Stopped the  Door  and Gave Shadow   a few hand signals, to which the  LC  Nodded..well, Doc.. thanks  for the care, Looks  like  everyone you worked don, has  some place to be...
 He  began to    Button his  Tunic.. Shade    looked over  and Shadow   nodded , the little guy    hoped off the table.

  three others  were brought out   on Hover  carts.. The Screaming   LT   over he  shoulder of  Zob, as he  headed to the door and the elevator

From where she had been working on Shadow Hawkeye also cleared her throat. Admiral as a medical officer and surgeon of conscious I must also lodge my own formal protest against torture of persons under my medical care. she shouts at VonStroff. and if you survive this just know I'll fix you up good so that way I can break a bone for each soldier you sacrifice.   I have a very poor view of those who waste my time as a surgeon.

As they streamed out Hawkeye motioned for crash carts and medics to follow the proceedings once the damn german gives in any survivors will likely need immediate medical attention. Attendants please reset the treatment bays and OR. for herself she snagged her surgeons bag and followed the irreverent parade out to the hold.

---Hold--->

Melia had been waiting on the scanner which still struggled a little with Shades unique biology and physiology when the Germans were removed. She felt no need to protest, as a combat medic her views were much more brutal than many Doctors and medics. Though as Shade left she admonished him, Just remember Orria's gonna see those bruises and marks. Be thinking on that.  she says grabbing a stretcher with a treatment kit on board and following the Germans to the hold. As far as she was concerned they might as well space them all at this point.

  Shadow and Shade     follwed the Long Line    of people...so?.. After this   I'm goign to mwork on My    Fighter.. what are you going to do...

 Shade Bleeps and  whirls...yeah.. You can  go to the Rec dec.. Just leave   LArry with me... if he  eats  any more, we'll have to  fly  him   on ops  in a Big Ugly..

 The German who was Last In Line. the one    Shadow stopped the hit with his hand....you are amkign Der  Jokes..at  a Time like this?

 ..You betcha.. I'm not the one  that's gonna be stepping out  into that Cold  dark Vaccum... they say you  die in a few Minutes?... I dunno?.. I think your Brain stays alive  for  a pretty long  time.. screamign   for someone   to help..

> prisoners  ect to  Hold>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

the   two  Unconscious Germans  were brought  back into the recovery  rooms. Though   the  Jostling  didn't  do the wounded  folks any good, no one seemed to Care.

 Stefi  went  into her office to log the deaths of the others .

Hawkeye immediately set to work checking over the two unconscious Germans that had been returned. They'd been identified as Von Straff's co-conspirators but that changed little in her mind. Her voice had iron and a bit of a snap to it, as she directed medtechs to do their duty. She'd be damned if the two died from injuries sustained by rough transportation while under her care.  She knew they're were likely already dead in a future sense depending on what their commander revealed, but to kill them here and now was not a position she was willing to take or allow. Medtech's were not murderers their job was to provide care and healing. If the two got sent to the colonies, or prison or even sentenced to death that was their business but hers was keeping people alive. More than a few times she reminded the techs on duty of that.

Hawkeye continued to bustle about the Medlab doing her various duties. She even checked in on the two prisoners ensuring they were at least stable. She checked the charts, and vitals of each patient as she made her rounds making notes and adjusting prescriptions based on changes in each patients status.

  Stefi  came up to   Cat.. handed her a report..

  LT  McNeal was   dead as   was  Von Straff.. reports  from McCloud's  latest  blood  work showed a trace of  a Largran hormone that  makes   humans despondent .

  ..A Suggestion from  the MAster Chief...... This  can be injected  into  a person, or... dropped into   a drink..like  say.. Rum, or  whiskey?..  alcohol  makes it hit the host faster..an?..  McCloud wasn't all in one piece  to start with..

 She    nodded to the  Vidboard,..makes you wonder , who would have had  access to do that..

Hawkeye read over the report, noting the demise of VonStraff and McNeal. She also looked at the drug report. "It looks like the human body processes it relatively quickly all the same. It'd need fairly consistent re-dosing over time. I doubt I need to check and see who visited McCloud the most consistently. In fact I suspect our primary suspect and likely perpetrator is floating in the black right now. Damn, how did no one catch this sooner?" She asks turning the pages looking for treatment instructions for helping those exposed to the hormone.

As she continues reading up on the current research regarding the Largran hormone she sends a comm text to Rolf asking him to come in at his earliest convenience. She scrolls through the information some more looking for clues or ways to help aide his recovery.

    Information on the LArgran Hormone, came mostly trough resources   hacked  by the ESN, that  dealth with the Oil Lords  and the EDT.

   a  'system Flush' was   recommended  for those who had   the  worst cases , other  cases  would   need  a few  roudns  of the  anti-Toxin.

Hawkeye takes a series of notes based on the information she finds, noting the indicators that mark the different cases, and when each treatment is appropriate. Grabbing a scanner, she begins to program which will allow the system to more efficiently analyze Rolf's condition, and give the most accurate feedback which would allow her to prescribe the correct treatment. A bit of her felt guilty at being rough on him, especially now in the light that he'd been drugged by a traitorous subordinate.

 Rolf  came in   he was  still a bit  pale   and gaunt .

  He  popped in,..Eh' Lass.. sorry i dinna   see ye more... I been so damned Tired..  did  that walk about  with the Germans...  thought i'd  'bout  die..slept  fer  som  14 hours... Lc..  The Bleedin  bloke  says  I'm not ta  drink for a bit?.. who the bleedin' 'ell does he think i am?

Hawkeye smiled ruefully, "Unfortunately, the LC is right. We got your bloodwork back, you got dosed with a Lagran Hormone that causes many of the tired and despondent symptoms you are feeling. Alcohol drastically increases the effects of the hormone. Until we get it completely out of your system you're off the booze. Its gonna suck cause you'll be drying out as well as getting over the Hormone." She finishes punching in and calibrating the scanner, "I'll need to scan you to determine exactly what treatment will be best but we now know why, and how to help you get better." she explains gently, waiting for Rolf to indicate he's ready for the scan.

    Rold  Looked at her. Bloody  nine 'ells.. well.. we best get started ... i hear  somthing  hapened  ta McNeal..dinna  see  the lass   fer  two days now.. she  came  in an' told  me  we were  gonna be moved inta  SEC..and   some  German Blokes..ain't  seen  none of them , though... McNeal  was  tryin' ta  take   care o' me..after i got  sick..or  so  she said?

Hawkeye nodded hooking up the scanner, "I suspect she was the one dosing you. Luckily for you she was caught conspiring with some EDT agents in the German troop. Wound up costing us the entire German reinforcement unit," she checked the files noting orders for SEC or guardian's to remain with the two unconscious Germans around the clock and their previous leadership status in the unit. "Due to the entire German leadership being involved. For her crimes she was dishonorably discharged and sent on the long walk." She stopped talking as the scanner chimed the completion of its work, and she read the readouts.

   Rolf  looked   shocked, McNeal... bloody long  walk?.... She   said she was taken  care of Me LAds  and Lasses.... said  they were  gettin'  sent off  all the time.. an'  they  were  makin' mistakes?.... Now?  I dunna  have  an Outfit...  I'm Part of an Outfit...

  Shaking his head  he  says.....I could  go fer something  ta  eat, fer sure....

I don't know the operational circumstances of the deaths while she was in charge but I wouldn't put it past her as using as a means by which to increase her number of allies on board. She says with a shrug. Looking back at the scanner she decides, "You are near the levels where a full detox may be necessary, but I want to start you with a few rounds of the anti-toxin and see how that goes. Let me get that together and I'll give the first dose. Then we can grab a bite to eat on the rec dec if you prefer." She says standing to pull out the anti-toxin

 he  took off his  tunic..  he muscles  weren't toned.. he looked  like an 'old Captain' he  sat on the     table. lookign   ar=t his hands  as  they  clenched and Unclenched.

In reply to Cat (msg # 980):

Hawkeye prepared the injections, two part mixed together in one syringe and a booster in a second, "All right relax, this is gonna sting and burn alot." She could administer a shot mostly painless, but the anti-toxin itself she had no control over. She quickly administered the shots, and allowed Rolf a moment to collect himself.

  Rolf  Nodded slolwy , when she injected him, he lay back on the table ,, his   eyes  closed  and   jaw  working, his  fist  clenching a bit... perhaps   about   10 minutes ..before he let loose  a ragged   breath  and stopped moving...
