Editing The Sevant Murders (section)

===Sevant Confronts the Murderer===
NRPG: Going to make this exceptionally difficult on you, Aaron :OP

The Brig isn't on our deck plans, have to remedy that. For now, I think it would be near the security center... Deck 7. If I'm blind and it is there, or it should be somewhere else, then the deck can be changed in the compile... 

RPG:
(USS Nimitz - Turbolift - Lt Cmdr Sevant - 2406.03.12.0907)

Sevant growled as the turbolift slowly came to a halt. "Computer, continue to Deck 7."

[Turbolift Control has been locked down on the authority of Lieutenant Stolev, unable to comply.]

Caladryll balled his fists and ground his jaw for a moment, "Computer, override Lt Stolev's orders, authorization Sevant Seven Omega Seven.
Continue to deck 7."

The turbolift was compliant, and immediately began moving again. But, if Stolev was any kind of good officer, he would find another way to do away with Sevant, perhaps by removing him from command on security concerns. He had been a Security Officer himself, there were ways to stop that from ever starting. "Computer," he growled a moment later, "Strip Lieutenant Stolev of all Security and Computer clearances. Reset him to civilian level five. Authorization Sevant Seven Omega Seven."

A couple seconds passed, then [All Security and Computer Command Codes for Lieutenant Stolev have been reset to Civilian Security Level Five.]

The Half-Vulcan's grin was pure joy at those words. It never once crossed his mind that he had woefully overstepped his authority, only that he had removed a large bolder from his path of vengeance.
Lieutenant Stolev wouldn't be able to get back his computer access before Sevant himself reached the brig.

He nearly gave a whoop of victory, but the doors opened to Deck 7 before he could open his mouth. Once they had, he was all business again.
Sevant bolted out of the turbolift and took off at a dead run for the Brig. He ignored every officer he passed, regardless of what they said or how they moved. He knocked over a couple in his haste to reach the brig, but didn't stop to see if they were all right. He was the epitome of Vulcan passion and rage, a figurehead of everything the Vulcans had left behind when they followed Sybok and put their feet on the path of Logic. He was anger personified, and he would NOT be stopped. 

Two security guards were standing in front of the brig when he arrived, they were not part of the normal contingent. 

~Someone guessed where I was going.~ he thought with something akin to glee. 

"I'm sorry sir..." one of them said as he moved forward with his hand outstretched, as if to grab him. Sevant would have none of it, he grabbed the arm of the only somewhat suspicious officer and twisted it.
Gracefully he moved forward, and twisted the arm behind the officer, forcing him to twist on his feet lest the arm be broken. The woman was in the act of pulling her phaser, until Sevant shoved the incapacitated man directly into her. He had trained and commanded many of the security team, he knew these two by name and had often inquired about their well being and families. That knowledge worked against them, who would think their former Department chief would simply attack them?

Sevant continued shoving until both had hit a bulkhead, completely taken by surprise and caught flatfooted. He ripped the phaser out of the mans hip holster, and turned calmly into the brig. The doors slid open easily, and the customary Brig warden was on duty. Although, instead of sitting behind a desk, he was standing in front of it with his hand on his phaser. Sevant had his own weapon up in a flash, before the Wardens phaser could make it more then halfway out of the holster. 

"Leave," he growled. 

"Sir, I can't do th..."

Sevant shrugged and pressed the button. The phaser was only on level one, it knocked the officer back several feet and knocked him out. But, it wouldn't keep him down for long. It didn't matter, Sevant only needed a few moments. "Comnputer, lock down the brig."

[The Brig has been locked down.]

There were several officers that would be able to open the brig doors over his command, but it would still take them a bit of time. HE only needed a few seconds... 

He stepped over the fallen officer, pausing only long enough to kick away the weapon, and started looking through the containment cells.
Considering the normal nature of the ship, they should all have been empty. However, this wasn't a normal day, and two of the cells were filled. One with an old man, who looked at Sevant with very keen interest... 

... The other with a man in Science or medical blue, who wasn't looking at much of anything but the ceiling. Sevant's blood howled at him as he tapped the button which brought down the forcefield. The man looked up, cringed slightly as his eyes saw the phaser and then the face of the wielder, and then he deliberately laid his head back down on the pillow.
"The murder of your wife and children was to keep my own alive, but now even they will die because of my actions to stop the people that ordered the death. One woman's and one child's blood, people you have never met, do not redeem the blood of your entire family. Perhaps, if you require it, my own will pay the difference." the man said flatly. 

Sevant looked down at the phaser, and dropped it. When he looked back up, the prisoner was looking at him with a featureless expression.
Sevant's breath came in huffs, and his heart pounded in his ears. "A phaser would be far to good." he eventually said, his voice feral. 

He lunged forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and picked him up one handed. With all his Vulcan strength he tossed him into a wall several times in a row. The man screamed in pain as Sevant turned him around and laid a punch into him with all his strength. He heard a rib or two crack at the force as he pulled back again, then hit him bare-knuckle in the already bloody face. 

"I WOULD, I DID, KILL FOR MY FAMILIES LIFE. BUT I DIDN'T MAKE THEM SUFFER, KILL ME ALREADY IF YOU MEAN TOO!" the man suddenly bellowed as he grabbed at Sevant's arm and started beating it. 

Sevant reached forward and grabbed the mans throat, and pushed him against the bulkhead. A strangled breath erupted from his mouth, but another did not follow as Sevant increased the pressure. He looked at the killer, his FAMILIES killer, and thought about the words that he had just said. 

"I would kill for my family," Sevant rasped to the blue and bloody faced man. "But you didn't give me the opportunity. You took them from me, when I couldn't defend them. You stole my only light from this world,"
He kept squeezing, with all the strength of his grief. "My only reason to live now, is to see you suffer..." his voice broke in a barely contained sob as the mans would-be epitaph ran through his mind again.
He found those words, and Vanyssa's words informing him of the murder, mixing together. He couldn't think strait, he hadn't been able too since he had learned... 

His shoulders slumped as the killer passed out from lack of air, and Sevant let him drop. His eyes never left the mans face as he backed up and bumped into the cot. He sat, eyes wet from tears and hands trembling both from adrenaline and grief. The man had killed for his families life? Was that possible? Wouldn't he have done the same? 

But this man KILLED his family! He deserved to die! 

But, Sevant didn't move. His hands continued to tremble as the Brig Warden and several other security guards rushed in to the cell with their phasers pointed in his direction. They warned him not to move, and Sevant almost laughed. His hands wouldn't obey his commands, they kept shaking. Maybe the guards would be merciful and shoot him dead for his lack of cooperation in such a simple matter as not moving! 

He closed his eyes, and slowly covered his face with his hands, no longer caring what went on around him.
