Timeline: MD02 January 4th, 2397 0200

Elysian Dreams was closed, but that wasn't going to stop those who came to get what they wanted. They had managed to get the code which would let them inside. There was a snicker, as one of the former employees had made it happen. She was a pretty thing, who had an unpaid debt. She used to be a Dabo girl before Chientaka's former partner stepped in. The Dabo girl had been caught skimming from the till, thinking that she'd get away with it. After all, her boss was only a stupid Lurian, without the lobes for business.

"Okay men, be careful lifting it we don't want it getting ruined." the man who was initiating this collection, said to his people. After all he had his own business to run and he felt that Chientaka owed him anyway. He had something he was going to be collecting, and he wanted this Dabo Table. It was custom built and Chientaka had won the bid. He felt he should have gotten it.

This man's name was Tobias Remzy, a man with a grey background and he didn't live here on the station. He was just here to collect. The roundish tall figure of Tobias, watched as his men moved it towards the front of the store, he was keeping a look out. At the moment there wasn't anyone about as most people tended to ease up in their traffic even if they were on the more lower part of the Promenade.

Coming from the Merchant's Association meeting. Chientaka looked at her partner, Rafael Ortega.

"What did you think about that dinner and those we met?" her next comment was paused as she looked towards her business, the doors wide opened and several men carrying out...

"Our Dabo table!" then she looked to see who was there. "Tobias! What are you doing here!" she roared out. "You thief!!"

"Why hello dear!" Tobias answered, smoothing back his white longish hair, which was quite awry. "I've come to collect what is mine and what is due!"

"I've already payed off any debts I had, and it is marked down in the books!" she roared out. "And I won that Dabo Table fair and square!" the sturdy frame of Chientaka moving towards the men who were moving the dabo table.

"Now now you can't be getting in the way, dearie." said Tobias as he motioned for some other goons to come forward...

"Rafael look out!" Cheintaka yelled out, as some men were going to block the way of anyone trying to stop them from taking the Dabo Table.

Rafael's hands were already fisted, and he flexed them so that his knuckles cracked as he dropped into a well-studied fighting stance. His father had made sure he knew how to protect himself since the streets of FreeCloud could get a little bit wild and crazy for the uninitiated. "Don't worry about me, I can handle myself," he said, and then flicked his left hand so a metal rod would drop out of his sleeve. It had a slightly thicker, grippy handle that slapped into his palm, and when he gave it a tiny squeeze the rod telescoped out, the rounded bulb on the end giving a bit of a zing as the charge inside ignited the stun feature.

"Shall we?" he asked with a cocky grin as the two toughs started to make their way towards him.

------------------------

Kaylee was getting near the end of her shift at the Promenade Security area, on Level 66, she looked at the monitors and got a blip on it, it looked like there was something going on at the closed down Elysian Dreams! Kaylee quickly contacted Samson, "Chief we've got trouble at Elysian Dreams!"

A summons went out for Security to report to Elysian Dreams and when it did Nakita did not want to go. She hated having to serve in Starfleet. But it did beat going to prison. The former New Maquis member stepped into the club a few steps behind the Chief. "Reporting as ordered Lieutenant."

Just as they get there a man is seen flying through the air having been tossed by an angry Lurian female. "Chief you have come right at the perfect tim-" her words are cut off when she is hit by a chair.

"Oh it is the inept yellow shirts, I've heard that you can't function very well." Tobias looked at his men, " Deal with them and don't let the dabo table get hurt." he stated. And those with Tobias reach for their weapons, and start shooting at security so as to provide cover fire in order for the Dabo Table could be taken.

Rafael slammed a fist into the solar plexus of one of the men who were attempting to follow Tobias's order. He gave a huff as the air was forced from him, and then doubled over when the spasming cramp of his diaphragm rolled over him. He brought the stun baton up and tapped him with it, and watched as he crumpled to the floor. "Good luck with getting out out of here in one piece," he called back, the grin still on his face. He hadn't been in a good brawl since he was a teenager. It was nice to see he still had the skills.

Matsuyo rushed to Elysian Dreams with his usual grace and elegance. He was quick but when seen did not look in a hurry, it was his way that he rarely look ruffled by any situation. As he entered the club a body flew towards him to which he side stepped calmly as the person landed with a thud behind him. The man groaned and attempted to get back up but Matsuyo simply backheeled his chin with his foot and he went to sleep. "Interesting party." he said dryly.

Kaylee took a look at Matsuyo gave a slight laugh. "Unflappable as ever." she remarked, then ducked back as a blast hit the door above where her head was at. "Chientaka isn't going to like the place being even more messed up."

A voice came from behind her, with a distinct Russian accent. "Then don't just stay there, go in and do battle!"

Kaylee turned to find herself looking at a female wearing Security colors and her distinctive evidence of being a Klingon hybrid. "Who are you?" she asked, already drawing out her own phaser.

"I am your replacement. Lieutenant Jali Andloch." the woman remarked, "Lieutenant Samson, get your smooth forehead in there now!" and with that Jali dove in through the doorway with a front somersault winding up on her feet in a crouched position and returning fire towards one of the goons. "Oh and surprise my childhood friend!" giving out boisterous laugh towards Samson.

"Wait what?" Kaylee called out, then crouched down and moved to one side to some cover.

"Yes, I am your replacement when you leave, Lieutenant Serra." Jali replied.

Nakita ducked behind the nearest table, well she overturned the table as she dived. She quickly returned fire, making sure to hit one of the men square in the chest. The man crumpled to the ground as he was stunned. She quickly glanced over at Samson as she looked for orders.

Someone smashed a bottle over another's head as Matsuyo walked by. The debris from it flew at him and some landed on his shoulder. As he continued on he brushed it slightly so clear it from his person and approached the main group. "I do believe other things take precedence over who is replacing who." He stated simply as he glanced at the room. "I'd rather replace this with my own quarters and some tea."

Kyrion had stopped on the promenade and was looking for something in one of the shops when he heard the commotion coming from another place. When he checked, there was a call to send officers in. As a CWO he normally had discretion on what he responded to and decided it would be best to check on the situation.

Arriving to the sound of a bottle breaking wasn't much of a surprise for a telepath but a little grin crossed his lips as he cracked his neck and and headed into the club. One of the people that had been trying to steal the dabo table took a swing, which Kyrion shifted away from before grabbing the man's wrist and twisting his arm around his back. He slammed him into a table and felt him go out.

"Who's next?" Kyrion grinned.

Craig made his way into the establishment, ducking to avoid fire. "Security under fire in Elysian Dreams!" he shouted into his commbadge as he pulled his phaser out of its holster and ducked behind a table. Seeing that Kaylee and the others were looking for direction, he continued, "Don't let them sneak out!" and fired his phaser from behind the table.

Upon hearing the orders Nakita thought that it would be fun to take someone out. She moved quickly, and stealthily around the edge of the scene. She maneuvered to outflank the group that had attempted to steal a dabo table. When she got close enough she ducked into a booth for cover and hollered. "Listen here, I don't like this crap any more than you do but I can't very well let you walk out of here with that. So why don't you just put it down and you can leave. If not I will have to clean your brain matter from the wall. So what's it gonna be..."

There was a shot fired at Nakita, in answer to her comment. And another person decided to volunteer themselves to attack Kyrion.

Nakita sighed and wondered why everyone chose the hard way to do things. "Have it your way..." she hollered as she fired and hit one of the men that carried the dabo table in the head. He crumpled to the floor heavily stunned.

Kaylee popped up and fired at another goon, and Jali hit her mark as well. Tobias the leader, moved towards where Chientaka was getting up from the floor, "My dear, I can keep this going all day. Do you really think these security people could take down my people?" he asked, as he pulled out a weapon to aim at her.

"You don't know these security, Tobias. Take a careful look around, don't you see your people are being taken down and not the station security?"

Tobias took a quick look around, noting that the dabo table was just set down, due to two of the ones moving it, had been dropped. And the third person just had his knee taken out from under him.

Kaylee was moving forward to get a better angle when someone jumped on her, almost out of nowhere. Kaylee having been low to the ground and was sent to the floor. Her phaser was knocked out of her hand and she felt the sharp searing pain of being stabbed. Kaylee twisted her body around, to where she was locked in a struggle to keep from being stabbed again.

Walking up from behind Rafael tapped the person who was trying to stab the security officer on their shoulder. When they grunted in surprise and jerked their head around for a quick glance he slammed his fist into their jaw, breaking their hold on the woman and sending them thudding to the ground, their eyes rolling up in the head as they lost consciousness.

Flinging his hand up and down because of the sudden pain he gave her a cocky grin and nodded. "You're welcome," he said, and then walked back towards the main fracas to see what else he could get into.

"Thank you!" Kaylee called out to the man who helped her, she went to retrieve her phaser but not seeing it she instead resorted to using her fists.

Jali rose from the floor, and fired off a couple more shots dropping two others, the numbers of the goons who were with Tobias were diminishing at a rapid rate. She gave a grunt of approval.

A diehard individual decided to leap at Nagao, cause the man just seemed much too calm for this situation.

Tobias decided he'd had enough and raised a weapon towards Samson preparing to shoot.

Matsuyo watched as some fanatic, the best way he could describe this mans action, launched himself at him like some deranged frog with a death wish. It was almost like slow motion watched him enter Matsuyo's personal space and all he could do was sigh with disappointment. Muttering something in Japanese, a mumble really mostly about how people never learn.

Matsuyo changed his posture slightly so he was more side on to the incoming 'gentleman'. As the assailants hands tried to grab him Matsuyo swooped his right hand under towards his stomach and knocked the air out of him and as he bent over used the momentum of his body, placed his hand on his back and used both hands to flip him over the bar. There was a loud smash and clatter but the man did not get back up.

As Matsuyo surveyed the room once more he noticed a man raising a weapon towards Samson. He looked like he had him dead in his sights and was ready to pull the trigger. Quickly looking around Matsuyo noticed a metal circular drinks tray sitting at an angle on the ground. With a quick stomp of his foot it spun up into his hand and he frisbee'd that mothertrucker straight at the gun man striking him on the side of the face forcing him to miss his shot.

Craig noticed a tray hit a man from across the room. Gotta remember to promote that officer, whoever they are... he thought, not at all realizing how close he'd come to being shot. Instead, he'd been distracted with shouting out orders and trying to summon backup, which would hopefully be here any moment. He'd already ordered departures shut down to make any escape attempt more difficult.

Tobias turned to see where that tray came from, frowning, now he was angry. He was getting ready to shoot at Craig again when he was shot by someone and it was heavy stun, Tobias hit the floor. "Enough!!" Jali roared out. "Lieutenant Samson, the leader has been taken out!"

And at that those that were still inside Elysian Dreams bolted for the door. It was a small scant handful but they were going to get out of there.

The advantage of being a telepath and a security officer was being able to sense intent, he kicked a chair directly into the path of one of the people trying to escape. With little time to evade, the man crashed into it and landed in a heap on the floor, another tripping and landing next to him. He jumped out in front of the others to cut off their path to escape, set his weapon to wide stun and hit the rest with one shot.

"Now, now we didn't say the party was over."

All Kyrion got in answer were groans from those whom he stopped.

"Good work everyone!" Craig said as he emerged from cover, still holding his phaser out in stun in case anyone got any ideas. Pressing his commbadge, he continued, "Samson to Security, Elysian Dreams is secured. We need medical and an escort to the brig up here. Also lift the departure lockdown, authorization Samson-15-Delta-Lambda."

Matsuyo walked up towards Samson, one criminal in tow with hands behind his back, and stopped in front of his Security Chief. "Most enjoyable evening sir." he said with a small nod of his head, a show of respect he had always had for others even from when he was a child. His parents bred that into their children. "Might I suggest next time it happen at a better hour." he raised his eyebrows, his way of smirking before moving off to take the prisoner to the brig.

Medical came in along with other security members to start taking those that were captured.

Kaylee nodded her thanks to the one who was looking at her wounds. "Thanks, will I be needing to go to medical?"

The man looked at Kaylee. "Would be best to get it checked out, but the bleeding has stopped."

Kaylee nodded, then she looked up as someone came over. It was Lieutenant Andloch. The Klingon hybrid looked at her. "You are okay." she stated with a slight smile.

"And you are the new one that will help Samson." Kaylee answered. She got up from the chair once the medic was done and moved to grab one of the perps who started the whole mess. "C'mon, lets get moving." taking him with her. She paused as she neared Samson. "Sir, you've got someone who says she knows you." nodding towards Jali. "She says she knew you when the two of you were young."

Nakita regrouped with the rest of the team. "It seems that all is back to business as usual here."

Chientaka looked at those who had come to their rescue turned to her partner. "Rafael, looks like we have a good security team." her deep voice resonating through her business. Turning her gaze back to Samson. "And I do want to press charges, on those thugs. Attempted theft... whatever you can think of."

"Of course," Craig nodded, "They're already going to face charges for the firefight, but we want justice to be done on behalf of your establishment as well. Are you willing to testify at the trial?"

Chientaka nodded, "I am willing to do so." giving a glare at the man who tried to steal from her.

"Good to hear, the JAG prosecutor will be in touch," Craig replied. Turning to his staff, he continued, "Ok, let's pack it up everyone! Gotta make sure nobody tried anything else on the station while we were preoccupied."

After the exchange between Chientaka and the lieutenant from Starfleet Rafael gave her a grin. "I haven't seen a fight like that in a long time." he said with a genuinely enthused note to his voice. "I didn't know stuff like that happened on Starfleet stations. Glad to know it's not always going to be boring around here."

Chientaka laughed, "Out here things are not truly boring, I'll have to tell you about a woman who was covered in purplish goo down and fluff, wearing nothing but a towel. She appeared upon the stage there. She was persuaded to get into a costume and perform a pole dance. She didn't do too bad, even with that gunk drying on her. I do not know where she disappeared to afterwards but, I have wondered just how she would have performed without that... mess she was covered in."

Kaylee, as she was taking her prisoner out the door, froze for a moment and cast a glance towards Chientaka. The Lurian female matched gazes with the blonde security guard, a knowing look in her eyes. Kaylee blushed slightly, then turned and left the business pushing her prisoner forward.

Chientaka chuckled slightly and said to Rafael, "With where we are at, this station can never be boring."
