Mission: Mission 2 - Love ORION Mistaken
Location: VIP Quarters

After locating Vivyra in the VIP quarters given to her, Bec stalked down the corridor and came to a halt just outside the doors. She motioned for the two security guards who had come with her to stand either side of the door. Once everyone was in place, she used her command codes to override any locks on the doors and stepped into the room, aiming her phaser at Vivyra. "Your game is up, Vivyra. My people are apprehending your two friends, and you can guess why I am here," she said, anger in her voice.

Vivyra looked at Bec completely confused. "No, I can't," she responded simply. "And why are you pointing a phaser at me? I've done nothing wrong. What do you mean apprehending my two friends?"

Just then, Cindy's announcement rang throughout the ship, =^= All officers except for Mr. Osswell and Commander Hudson are to immediately avoid contact with any Orions and those two are instructed to immediately arrest Vivyra and anyone else not supposed to be on board and put them in the brig.=^=

"Arrest me?!" Vivyra started crying. "What did I do wrong? What's going on? All I asked was for amnesty and to help my friends!"

"You can drop the act Vivyra. Two of your friends beamed aboard this ship and two Orion ships have sprung an ambush on us," Bec said as she clapped shackles onto Vivyra's wrists. "You know exactly what you did wrong," she added. "And you know exactly why I am ordered to arrest you."

"I don't!" Vivyra replied crying harder. Tears were flowing freely. "I've done nothing wrong! Why are you doing this to me?" Her voice conveyed how upset and confused she was. "And what two friends? Orion ships? Ambush? Why?!"

"That's what you should be telling us! Why would your supposed friends want to board our ship?" Bec asked, gripping Vivyra's arm gently and leading her out of the quarters and into the corridor. She walked Vivyra down the corridor toward the lift and ultimately to the brig.

"I don't know!" Vivyra wailed. "You're my friends! Why would do any of this, Bec? Please! Take me to Jane! I want to be with my owner!"

"She's not your owner," Bec snapped. "You shouldn't want an owner," she added, shaking her head. "You'll be safe in the brig," she said as they entered the lift. She gave the computer the command to take them to the deck which held the security offices and the brig.

"But I want Jane!" Vivyra whined. "She's my owner! How could I not want her? I should find her if she's in trouble. Please!" Vivyra begged.

"She's not in trouble. And she's not your owner," Bec said, getting annoyed with the whining. "Look, if you're innocent, we'll figure out what to do then, but for now, you're going to the brig. You'll be safe there. Whining and begging won't get you anywhere, I'm not changing my mind. I have the safety and security of everyone on this ship to enforce. And orders to follow. You are to be arrested, so I am arresting you." Her grip wasn't tight on the Orion's arm, but it was enough pressure to show Vivyra that she was serious.

Tears continued to stream down Vivyra's face. Between sniffles she relented. "OK, Bec, if you say so. Please make sure that Jane's OK. I don't want my owner to get hurt!"

"For the love of god," Bec growled. "Stop talking. Just stop. Jane is perfectly fine. She's working, taking care of any injured," the latter was a bit of a lie, but Bec didn't want Vivyra to know that Jane was inoculating the crew against the pheromones of her and her 'friends'. As they came into the security offices, Bec nearly let out a sigh of relief that they'd made it this far without resistance. "Now, you'll be staying in one of these lovely cells," she said, leading Vivyra into the brig. "Don't ask my officers to let you out, they won't do it," she added. "Stay here and wait."

"Jane's so sweet! Of course she's helping!" Vivyra replied proudly. "I won't ask. I'm a good girl, I am." She gave Bec a weak smile. "Maybe Jane and I can show you how good I can be?" she asked hopefully.

"No, I don't want your version of good, thank you," Bec responded moving out of the cell and activating the forcefield. "A normal good girl doesn't try to have sex with everyone she meets. You've been brainwashed into believing something that is utterly and despicably wrong. If you are innocent in all of this, I do hope that you learn how to be a real person and not a puppet."

Vivyra was stunned. "What's wrong with physical affection? And I'm a real Orion.... I don't understand."

Rolling her eyes, Bec stepped away from the cell, completely done with the conversation. "You," she said to one of the security officers still in the offices. "You're on brig duty now," she said with a nod. "Don't let this one talk her way out of the cell." The female officer nodded and moved to the Brig station.
