All sorts of H*** breaking loose

Calhoun elects to talk to the female first. She seems to be the brains of that outfit. However, before he can even get off his chair . . . the one who'd teleported those two half human/animals aboard his ship strikes.

The guy who did it is named the Brazen Man, and he doesn't even play when he's having fun! Meaning that when he "plays", he's VERY mean.

Here is how it goes, his "gameplan":

Kill McHenry. That's to keep that amazing talent for navigation from plotting a return course through the wormhole.

Open wormhole and suck in Excalibur before she can react. Manipulate wormhole so it spits out in some other universe entirely. Talk about being lost! More so than the Voyager ever shall be!!

Then congratulate yourself on watching the horror of those who are left onboard the bridge as they BARELY avoid colliding with a Leviathan (not that they know what a Leviathan is).

Listen to Calhoun shout for what the hell just happened, and hear the chief engineer (and Moya) scream in pain over what's been done to each of their FTL drives. Damage to to interactions between warp field and whateve kind of field the hetch drive have knocks them offline and causes extensive damage to both ship. Moya can't move (might even lose her unborn baby). Excalibur is stuck with only a fraction of impulse power.

Not good! And add to this a lunatic named Durka running about inside Moya. Mindcleansing (a type of mind control) just broke...

A merry chase aboard Moya had taken place after the others had found Salis (Durka's handler dead). The Nebari ship that was going to pick up Salis' transport is going to want to keep this quiet (Durka's breaking his mind control, that "mindcleansing" stuff) so will take all those who are involved in one way or another. Might mean silencing them, now that something (a lingering wish a girl in gray made before becoming a Champion) prevents old tools from working...

That's going to be a BIG problem here, if they're unlucky...

1. But let's ignore this for a moment and concentrate on another of Salis' "guests" . . .
