"123"
Location: USS Apparition
Scene: CO Quarters
Stardate: 2.80505
=======================================
Jax threw a napkin down onto the table as he watched the latest FedCom report.
It was a shame, at one point FedCom was one of the most reliable sources for
galactic news there was, but now for some reason they were only broadcasting
propaganda material designed to thwart Gateway and her crew as well as
Starfleet's mission in the Gamma Quadrant.
It was very fishy to say the least.
"What troubles you father?" the little boy across from him asked. Originally
the formal speaking was cute, but now Jax was finding it Annoying.
"Ok, first off, stop talking like your some egoistical aristocrat. Please. It's
driving me mad. And to answer your question, I'm becoming physically ill with
the reporting that FedCom is doing lately."
"Are they lying?"
"Up until tonight no, they were twisting the truth to fit some as of yet
unknown agenda. They did just blatantly Lie though. I witnessed the exchange
between the Winged Science Officer and the Reporter, and he didn’t respond when
the reporter demanded to no if he was denying his accusations. So that "no" in
the report was a fabrication. Now I have to think on what to do about it."
"It's not nice to lie"
"No, and if you ever lie to me I will spank you until your little butt is as
red as my uniform." Iccy audibly gulped at the threat/warning. And went back to
his meal. Jax smiled slightly at the kid, and once again decided it was time to
intervene in the affairs of Gateway. He pressed the comm. button on the wall,
opening a channel "Lawrence to Drake, report to my quarters."
[[On my way]] came the Clone's reply. Jax was not regretting allowing the clone
on his ship.
It took the ship's ILO a few minutes to arrive. Unfamiliar with this class of
vessel he took a wrong turn and was halfway to the saucer separation control
room when he backtracked to the correct corridor. "You asked to see me
Captain?"
"Yes, I need you to pull another file for me. Gateway Security visual recorder
files. I want to know what happened with Lieutenant Varn and the prisoner, as
well as the interaction he had with the Reported that was supposedly from FNS."
"That will take some time."
"It’s a priority Mister Drake, take all the people you need and find those
clips. Then call me."
"Aye sir."

GS2 – Detention Area

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Gavi and LJ were inside one of the 3 access
tubes that lead into the security section.
"Something in here's not right today"
"Yeah you are about to torture a bound victim." LJ just shrugged. This 'victim'
had assaulted his family, maybe not directly but the effect was the same Daisy
was now confined "Ok, but he didn’t hurt mom. So why are we getting involved?"
"Paper bags and angry voices Under a sky of dust Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up All my talk of taking action"
"So you are not just doing this as revenge for mom, but to improve the mood on
the station?" LJ nodded vigorously. "Any other reason?" Lj again nodded "And
that would be?"
"Trying not to break But I'm so tired of this deceit. I'm just trying to bend
the truth" Lj slid out of the tube and approached the shielded cell the
reporter was housed in. He stared at the man a few minutes, making sure that
this is what he really wanted to do. As it was he could back out easily and
remove the rerouting of the systems he'd done.
"Who are you? Aren't you a little young to be in here little boy?" the reporter
asked after noticing the red haired teen. "Oh I know you. You are the retard
son of the bitch station commander. Hate to tell you this dummy, she won't have
much of a career after we're done with her. If she doesn’t go an off herself in
shame. It's what a half-breed freak like her should do. You should follow.
Awww, are you going to cry now? Run back to mommy and tell her what the big bad
reporter said to you? I hate to break it to you son, but I'm the press, I can
say what I want when I want and these sheep will lap it up like a kitten and a
bowl of cream. I'm not touchable. Soon I will be out of this cell, especially
when our 'medical' official releases my dreadful glandular condition that
caused the unfortunate event witnessed by all. I will get sympathy and the
satisfaction."
"Forfeit the game Before somebody else Takes you out of the frame And puts your
name to shame. Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast
You just won't last."
"I don’t really think you could raise a welt on my ass. You're just a pipsqueak
defective that should have been drowned in the nearest river"
LJ grinned evilly "I find your Lack of Faith Disturbing" LJ picked up a glass
of water on the nearby guards counter, and threw the contents into the field.
The field crackled and disintegrated the water on contact, causing the reporter
to laugh. He thought it was over but shut up when LJ's sinister grin grew more.
"The test is the thing." He said, producing a small control device, and pressed
a button on it before walking away.
The reporter shrugged in confusion until the smell hit him. Followed by the
liquid, if you could call it that. The waste of roughly 3000 people of varying
species started trickling into the room. It wasn’t hard for LJ to make waste
extraction overflows loop into the cells air supply vent. The computer would
catch the error in a few minutes, but by that time the damage would be done.

6 hours later
====
Jax watched over the clips that had been provided. It was exactly what he'd
been looking for, as he sent them off anonymously to FNS to be aired in their
next broadcast. There was one other file that had been left for him, and he
played it. He watched as his mini-me had a conversation with the reporter in
which the reporter insulted him and his guardian numerous times, before being
doused in sewage. It was probably one of the funniest pieces of footage he had
seen, and he forwarded that to FNS as well.

0800 the next morning Every Console on station
====
{{Good Morning People of the Federation, We at Federation news Service have
more from the ongoing personal attacks on the staff and crew of Gateway Outpost
by our friends at FedCom. Many of our viewers will recall the report on FedComs
afternoon report yesterday that the Chief Science Officer refused to deny he
was having an affair. We now offer the real footage, released to us
anonymously. We can only thank the unknown donor for the footage so we can show
the people of the federation the TRUTH of what's been happening out there.}}
The clips played in their entirety, again without edit to remove any of the
security identification features.
{{In lighter news, it seems Gateway now has a vigilante on its hands. Along
with the proper footage we have just shown, An additional clip was provided.
Unlike the previous clips we did edit this one for language, as well as to
conceal the identity of the justice seeker as the person seems to be under
age.}} The clip with LJ and the reporter played, with certain sections of the
dialog removed to preserve the identity of the youth. {{We contacted Gateway
for a comment, and were assured that the problem with the waste reclamation
systems had been corrected and they would be investigating the identity of the
youth shown. Captain Spankryz further went on to comment that Gateway staff and
crew had no prior knowledge of this incident, nor do they condone vigilantism
no matter what the provocation. We at FNS wish the crew well in cleaning the
stench from the cell.}}
