If we tried swimming out of the lab, Mul'cha would... well... I didn't know what he would do, but it wouldn't be good. That left us with only one option for escape - getting the Iconian Gateway up and running.
Sisko instructed us to complete three tasks to get the Iconian before it could be operated by a Bajoran:
Resynchronize the DNA isomorph circuit
Plasma Power Relay rephasing
Target the stealth shuttle for teleportation
Mabrin took on the resynching the isomorph circuit, Thavliss took on the targeting system and Tren tried his hand at engineering the relay.
Mabrin quickly completed his task with a minimum of problems. We're lucky to have him on the crew. Thavliss followed not far behind him. All the time, Mul'cha was pounding on the lab shell. The shell was cracking and beginning to leak water. The shell was about to crack wide open, when at the last minute, Tren plugged the final plasma relays together and sparked the Gateway into life.
Mabrin took control of the Gateway and we shifted rapidly back into the stealth shuttle. As I gave the order to get the hell out of there, the Prophets took over again, shifting us back into our universe. Sisko only had a brief moment to thank us for his rescue before he faded from view, on to his next mission for the prophets!
And the adventure continues...
