Alex murmurs to Lorq, "Stockpile sedatives if you can. I'll work with Roast Chicken over there on a plan to overcome them." She takes a quick glance over at their captors while they're distracted by the results of the testing. "Can you strengthen the tranquilizers?"

OOC:
I will try and mix a sedative strong and quick acting as I can without causing death.

There's not a lot lying around that you can use but you do find a reactive agent that should make the effects of the tranquilizer a bit faster. You quickly add a few drops to each of the syringes. Just as you finish, a guard turns around and lifts his phaser rifle at you. "Doctor, female, you leave now. We will take the male to his cell in just a moment!"
He doesn't seem to have noticed you fiddling around with the tranquilizers.

As you command.

Lorq leaves with the guards. His newfound hope of rescue makes him extra vigilant on the way back to where he is held.
OOC:
I will try and get an idea of numbers against us and any other pertinent info.

Alex rises slowly from where she has been undergoing testing. Again, she bows from the waist, and says in a calm, measured tone, "May it please you, the male may be confused and possibly even agitated when he wakes from his sedation. As I only wish to serve and help with the testing, I would not want conflict to arise. If I am present when he wakes, I can help him remain calm and see the importance of service."

She remains bowed while she awaits an answer.
OOC:
Going to roll an expert feelings to see if I can be extra convincing...
OOC:
And laser feelings -- can I tell if they plan to do something else (something bad) to Zephyr while we're not in the room?

Laser Feeling: They have found Zephyr suited for infection and are planning to infect him once you're gone.

Do you want to change action or keep it this way?
Mar 6, 2019 7:10 pm
OOC:
Keep it the same. Fingers crossed.

"He will wake up in his cell. There is no need for you to observe, meatbag!"
The guards seem to appreciate the way you're acting so they lower their guard and don't aim their rifles at you anymore but they're still insisting that you leave.

There's a long pause before Alex responds. She looks silently from Zephyr to the guards, draws a deep breath, and nods. "Of course. If I may be of additional assistance, it would be an honor for this one to serve," she says, though a bit of an edge creeps into her voice that wasn't there before.

She moves toward the door, expecting to be escorted back.

A guard leads you away to your cell. They seem relaxed around you but they still keep an eye on you.
Lorq, you are also being escorted to your cell.

Are you planning on doing anything during the next hour after being taken back?

OOC:
Are we anywhere near each other, Lorq and I?
Mar 7, 2019 4:52 am
OOC:
Not in neighboring cells but very close. You've seen which room the other person is kept in.
Mar 7, 2019 5:13 am
OOC:
no plans just getting some rest in case things get busy

OOC:
So close enough to talk? Are the guards within earshot?
Mar 7, 2019 5:29 am
OOC:
You're both locked in crew quarters. You could probably get up to your respective doors and shout and be able to hear each other but almost certainly, guards would be able to overhear everything you say.

Returned to her cell, Alex drops her patient servant act and irritably paces the perimeter of the space, muttering under her breath all the way. Suddenly she comes to a stop, turns to the wall and slams her open palms against it.

She lets out a deep sigh and leans her forehead against the wall. With nothing left to do, she turns and slides down the wall to sit on the bed.
OOC:
No other plans, other than racking her brain for ideas.

After a while, both of you would hear heavy steps in the corridor outside your cells. Alex, you hear the door to the room next to you in which Zephyr was kept open and the steps enter it. A moment later, the steps exit the room, the door closes and they walk off.
Zephyr, you wake up back in the room that you were in before you got taken to the medical exam. You feel a bit groggy, most likely from the anesthesia, but otherwise you feel fine. The replicator in the room is still working. Your captors seem to have not noticed that you fixed it.

Once it sounds like the guards are gone, Alex waits a minute before knocking on the wall between her room and Zephyr’s. She waits to see if there’s a response before she speaks.
Mar 8, 2019 3:55 pm
Zephyr, feeling groggy, makes himself another tea in the replicator. When he first hears a knocking on the wall theres a moment of confusion. Then he remembers.

"Alex?" he says, "can you hear me?"

Zephyr knocks on the wall twice in response in case his voice can't be heard.

Alex, Zephyr, when you talk, you can just barely understand each other
