ON:

Martin wasn't happy, he could feel Steph, he knew the source off the pain he was empathically feeling wasn't her. He could also Feel his niece now that they had spent time together on earth before they set up and were abducted by the Klingons. Klingons of all species. There had been peace between Federation and the Klingon Empire. "I suppose the Klingons are are going into a time of turmoil again then" He said to himself. A pair of Klingon was pushing something on an antigrav gurney. One stopped in front of the door holding a pain stick to keep the prisoners back another picked something up off the gurney and laid it on the bed. The Klingons moved back and closed the cell forcefield. Martin headed over he could see the being was bruised and battered. "Hello, Hello Are you there can you hear me?" He asked.

Tuula just groaned in response. She heard a voice, though it seemed faint and distant. Her mind was still muddled from the neural probing, and her body wracked with pain from the more traditional methods of 'enhanced interrogation' that she had been subjected to. She opened her mouth to respond, only to slip out of consciousness once more.

Jamie let out an unhappy sob. She had been separated from her mommy and second daddy and now there was a big person with an owie in the room with her and those nasty men had hurt them. Her sob turned slowly into a howl of fear and outrage. She wanted her parents and she wanted them now!

Martin headed over as the Klingons turned away. He felt the side of Tuula's chest, like all Betazoids he was empathic but he could really only get actual sympathetic feeling was through touch. He knew that Steph would get what he got too and with that be able explain better with her scientific brain. *What's wrong with her Steph?* He sent, then he felt Jamie scared. *Shhhhhhh Jamie, Uncle's here and he's safe.*

Jamie glared at the Klingons. *Bad men hurt lady ... want you and mumma!*

Steph closed her eyes feeling *she's been badly tortured and her nervous system has shut down to cope. We need to keep her warm and hope she doesn't go into shock.*

*Thanks Steph.* Martin looked around for some blankets finding a couple he gently lifted Tuula's head and he immediately felt a pain in her chest. *I think she has a broken rib,* he sent to Steph.

*Do you have anything you could bind it with?* Steph glared at the cell wall separating the two of them.

*I could take my shirt off and use that to bind it.* As he sent it he started removing his jacket and shirt. He put his jacket back on folded his shirt he placed the thickened pad over the rib fracture wrapped the sleeves an gently pulled the pad tight before he placed the blanket over Tuula to help with her temperature.

JJ pushed at the make shift playpen she was in trying to wobble it the way her mumma or uncle-daddy did when they took her one apart at home. It shifted slightly and she plopped down on her butt before scooting out the gap and crawling towards the cell with her daddy and the owie lady. *dadda?*

*What is it Jamie?* Martin asked *How can I help you little one?*

*Me 'scapeded daddy....* she frowned at the big button to open daddy's cage *bad button! Too high!*

Martin rushed the cage. "Jamie if you love daddy and mumma you get back over there, you remember what that nice lady looked like when they dropped her back in today they will do that and worse."

Jamie's lower lip quivered tearfully *Me can't dadda ... it went bang clang no gappie when me got out* she looked around for the scary bad men.

"Okay so it fell over or did someone push it. Neither Mumma or I can get out but if you think you can squeeze between the bars your Mumma needs a hug!" Martin explained it as simply as he could. He was glad now of all those classes on breaking things down into go there do that hug your mother scenarios now.

Sticking her thumb in her mouth JJ looked at the pile that was a pen *It felleded dadda* she looked at the bars and shook her head *too tights dadda*.

*We got a visitor Steph. I will tell her to stay where you can see her. The cells are too tight but I hope when we put her in a playpen she doesn't escape that one like she did theirs.*

"Right then Jamie daddy has another lady to look after and he needs to help her recover from what has happened to her. I'm going to ask you to play happily like you would when mummy was having her physio to help her get better. If you get tired you just let mummy know that your going to sleep." Martin said to his niece.

*Ok dadda* JJ rubbed her eyes and then crawled back to the taken apart pen and dragged some toys from it as well as her blankie and started playing.

Steph was trying to decide between laughing and worrying and settled on laughing *She's definitely his daughter ... and yours I seem to remember hearing a story of a similar escape from you at her age.*

*Oh yes because you were the perfect angel. Never tried to escape from your.....* He thought silently for a while and said quietly to himself "How could I get that she bonded to James didn't she."

Steph blinked and looked at his cell in a thoughtful way. How had either of them known stories about the other? Not like his mother would tell her. *I think I was about two when I managed my great Escape.*

Hearing a groan Martin got up and went back to Tuula, "Hello can you here me friend. My name is Martin Caine." He said quietly as he approached the semi-conscious lady on the bunk. *Yeah mine was about that age too!* He added to Steph.

"Uuuuungh..." Tuula just groaned and stirred as her eyelids flickered open and shut.

*Try and keep her awake ... she may have a concussion.* she sat there thinking then added *I guess we are due a talk when we get out of here.*

Martin sent *Yes I suppose we are.* then remembering she had a suspected broken rib he tried gently to wake her. "Excuse me miss but I need you to wake up and talk to me it's really boring in here with nothing to do."

"Jaana?" asked Tuula, clearly hallucinating and imagining the person talking to her was her twin sister. "Wh... wh... where am I?"

"Jaana, is that your name Miss. Cause it isn't mine. I guess your in starfleet by your uniform you you know me to be friend, I a Senior Chief Petty Officer Martin Caine. It seems we are to be cell mates. I have done what I can with your ribs, Are you hurt otherwise. A friend of mine tells me I have to keep you talking or awake so come let's talk for a while." Martin said with a smile.

"Oh Jaana," replied Tuula in a voice that was strained but also relieved. Relieved that her sister was here to make it all better, or so she thought. "Please fetch karhu; I miss his soft fur on my skin. But be careful; I still need to sew his eye back on."

Looking at the lady and her dadda JJ pursed her lips in thought. To her 1 year old mind she had a mission now, to find the pretty lady's bear and make her all better ... her mumma and dadda would understand right? Clutching blankie to her she checked her momma and dadda and they were dealing with the lady. Mumma said its rude to interrupt adults talking so she nodded to herself and carefully toddled to the door which opened silently.

*It must be a favoured childhood toy, but she still thinks I'm someone else.* He sent before he was able to do a mental sweep of the room. *Where's JJ.*

Steph looked round frantically *JJ!?!* she didn't get a response and sent him frantic feelings *she's gone looking to help the lady ... what if she finds the 'bad men'?*

*Calm yourself Steph. Or you set me off.* Martin sent to Steph then changed his turning to a line he knew would get Jamie. *Where are you off too? This is not a safe place to go exploring like on Earth! Get back now!*

Creeping down the corridor carefully JJ sent a happy *Dadda! me find lady blankie dadda! Blankie take away owies.* She nodded emphatically even though he couldn't see her.

*Well her blankie may not even be here darling girl. Your just like your mother.* Then Martin thought about it for a while how do I know that, I didn't know her back then.
