"Where is he?" Remy said impatiently, watching the holographic display that was projecting from the War Room table.
"Close, Boss. Settle down." Logan replied as he worked on a console in the room. "According to the lock, he isn't that far from where Jayna said she should be." He paused slightly, looking over to Remy with a curious look. "So, you're not gonna tell me what you and Jayna talked about?"
Remy rolled his eyes slightly, turning his head to look at his large Caitian friend in a slightly irritated mood. "You're finding it very difficult to accept the words private conversation, aren't you Mister Logan?"
"I'm just asking. You aren't saying anything and neither is she." Logan replied, looking back to the console.
"Perhaps there is nothing to say. If you're concerned that she is being removed from the team, she isn't. I told you this already." Remy said quickly, looking back to the display as the flashing green light began to move closer and closer to the area Jayna determined where their target would be. "Please focus. Timing is crucial."
Logan let out a groan and continued to tap at the console. "I'm working on it. The transporter was built for one person, but luckily, our Monkey Buddy isn't that big."
"Score another one for the little guys." Remy said softly, smirking slightly. The smile appeared for a brief moment, than faded quickly. "He is approaching the targeted area. Jayna, How are you doing with tracking Spock? Have you established a clear image from the Leash? Can we get a visual?"
"The leash is working perfectly and Spock is doing great," Jayna assured him. She put the image on the large viewscreen so they could all see the Capuchin's progress.
=^=Sirel to Batiste. I am outside your shuttle as requested. I have a full team here. Just let me know when you need us.=^= Kela said over the com.
Remy tapped his combadge. =^=This is Batiste. Keep away from my shuttle, Ensign. It's defense systems are a bit buggy this evening. It may have trouble distinguishing from friend or foe.=^=
Logan raised a brow, not remembering anything about a the Horus's systems acting funny.
=^=Acknowledged. Sirel out.=^=
"We're having trouble with the defense systems?" Logan questioned.
"Yes, or at least make it seem like we are. I hate it when Security Officers insist on coming on board. They want to know everything about everything. It's annoying. I value our privacy." Remy replied quickly, watching the display carefully.
Logan shook his head a bit. "Horus? Please fire a single warning shot if a Security Officer gets 2 feet from any of the entrances. And decrease the power of the charge. We want to rattle them, not kill them."
"My program does not allow harming Starfleet Officers." Horus replied.
"Run alteration program: Batiste, Beta Three." Remy said quickly, adding a bit of a smirk. He was waiting on a change to use one of his alterations.
"Running Program Batiste, Beta Three. Alteration to program verified. Enabling defense modification."
Logan turned around quickly, a bit surprised as to what just happened. "You have your own programs? Since when?"
"Since in case of a emergencies. I had a lovely red head in Intelligence, who loves chess and classic video games, make it and several others in case we need it. Don't worry, it's temporary and I made her promise it wont change Horus's original program." Remy replied, his eyes still locked on the display.
Logan turned back around to the console and shook his head. "If Vanya messed up my program, I'm gonna kill her."
"Vanya?" Jayna asked. "I didn't think anyone was allowed to touch Horus but you?" Well, now Jayna. It made her wonder what sort of relationship this Vanya had with Logan.
Remy, sensing the curiosity and slight jealousy, replied quickly. "Vanya is a contact I have. Several members of the Special Ops have, actually. Remarkable computer genius. A bit odd at times, but very trusting and reliable. Next time we need her I will introduce you. She doesn't need to be here, all she needs is a copy of Horus's program. As I said, they only alter the program temporarily, so no major change will happen to the original program. She assured me of that."
"Makes me curious, and scared, of what kind of alterations you two came up with." Logan replied with a raised brow. "Vanya is nice, Jay. She's got a thing for this guy named Starbuck. Remy hates him."
That made Jayna feel better, both the comments by Remy and Logan and the fact that Remy disliked this Starbuck. Something on the vidscreen caught her eye. "I think Spock found something."
Remy narrowed his eyes, leaning forward a bit, as he watched the image that was displayed on the viewscreen. The image from the Leash around Spock was a bit fuzzy from interference, but he could tell what was going on. As Spock began to move slowly around the room, the viewscreen displayed the motions, capturing everything he was seeing and hearing at that time. "Easy Spock. Easy. Do not give away your element of surprise." Remy said softly, watching as he finally caught a glimpse of the Caitian woman. She was in a security uniform with her back facing Spock.
"We got her." Logan said loudly as he walked over to the table and watched the image as well. "Come on, Spock. Jump on and hold on for your life, Man. You can do it."
"You are aware he can't hear you, Mister Logan." Remy replied softly, his eyes focused on the image in front of him.
"You did it."
"I run this team. I can do what I please and it shouldn't be brought to question." Remy answered in a stern, but soft voice. "Besides, it helps relieve some of the tension."
Logan smirked slightly. "Admit it. Despite all the times he gets on your nerves, you love the little guy."
"I admit nothing." Remy countered, his eyes so focused on the image it was obvious he was concerned for Spock's well being.
"I'll admit I love the little guy," Jayna said. She moved closer to Logan. "Did you teach him to stalk like a jungle cat? Might be appropriate here."
