DECA: A Propistion..
DECA: <QueenPsycho> I want my son.
DECA: Brings the Rangers...
DECA: <Ashley_Ranger> You can't expect me to hand that child over to you after what you've done to his father.
DECA: One step closer....
DECA: <Karone> Have you foiund anything Ash?
DECA: To finding Andros...
DECA: * Andros is bloody on some parts of his body, and scares across, the other, his clothing is ripped, and he's unconcisis
DECA: But is it a ploy....
Ashley stands solemnly on the bridge, opening a communications channel.
QueenPsycho appears on the veiwscreen.
QueenPsych: well? what's the word?
`Karone sits in her chair, rolling her eyes
Ashley: Since you won't give us any other choice, we're prepared to hand Orion over to you in return for Andros....
QueenPsycho blinks
QueenPsych: Good decision Ashley.
QueenPsych: So let's talk time and place.
Ashley: We'll pick the time, you pick the place.
QueenPsych: Fair enough..
QueenPsych: The River Nebula.
QueenPsych: There's a planetoid with breathable atmosphere.
Ashley: Fine. 24 hours from now.
QueenPsych: Done.
QueenPsycho cuts off the channel and turns, rubbing hands together...
`Karone: What now..
QueenPsych: We'll be a family soon Andros..
Ashley: We prepare. She's probably planning to double cross us right now. We have to come up with our own plan to cheat her.
Ashley thinks..
Ashley: How likely is it that she'll just bring a decoy to the meeting?
`Karone: very it seems
Ashley: Then we should do the same....
Ashley turns to Travis.
Ashley: You've been playing with the SimuDeck alot lately. Could you create a portable hologram of Orion?
Travis: sounds good.. trick her at her own plan
Travis: Sure thing.. I'll start working on it right away
Ashley: Great. Thanks.
Ashley looks at Carlos.
Ashley: Someone needs to break onto her ship during the meeting, and rescue Andros while she's distracted.
Ashley: Will you and Joanna go?
Joanna looks up from her console
Joanna: Sounds like a plan...
Ashley: Can you two do it?
Carlos_: No problem, Ash.
Ashley squeezes Carlos's arm.
Ashley: Meanwhile Trav and Karone and I will hit the surface and meet with QP.
Ashley: We'll stall her as long as we can, then give her the decoy baby when we know you've got Andros safely back onboard.
Ashley: Any questions?
`Karone: None here..
Carlos_: Nope. Let's go save Andros.
Ashley nods.
Travis runs off to the holodeck to get started making a holographic Orion
Ashley sees Zhane walk onto the bridge.
Zhane: Hey guys
`Karone: Zhane! *runs up to him*
Ashley: Zhane! Thank goodness you're back. We have a plan.
Zhane: Hey Karone
Zhane: What happened?
`Karone: We're geting Andros back hopefully..
Zhane: cool!
Zhane: Someone to pick on, aside from Ashley *snickers*
Ashley: We're going to save Andros. We've set up a meeting wwith QP to exchange Orion for him, but we expect to be double crossed. So We'll bring a decoy and meanwhile, send Joanna, Carlos, and you too over to the PsychoShip to save Andros.
Ashley: Once he's safe, we give up the decoy and get the hell out of here.
Carlos_: Let's just hope our plan works..
Ashley nods again

Ashley: Amazing..
Zhane: no kidding
Ashley: Gotta hand it to Trav..
Zhane: no kidding
DECA: Approaching Planetoid.
Zhane: We ready?
QueenPsycho 's ship hovers over the tiny planetoid.
Ashley: We're ready. I've decided to let Travis stay here to monitor the ship, just in case QP tries something while we're gone.
Zhane: Ok
Zhane leans over and kisses Karone on the cheek "Good luck"
`Karone smiles* You too..
Zhane hands ash the baby "You'll need this"

Ashley: Not till I know he's ok.
Zhane makes hissing sounds
