Mission: On Slippery Ground
Location: Former Maquis Base
Timeline: MD 1 || 1630 hours

Logan sat up suddenly as he regained consciousness. His groaned as his head swam with the motion. His vision finally cleared and he saw a young woman no older than 19 or 20 sitting in a chair next to the bed he was in. "What happened? Where am I? Who...who are you?"

The woman gently placed a hand on Logan's chest and pushed him back down on the pillows. "I will answer your questions, but you have to lie down."

"I'll go get Brian."

Logan looked over to the second speaker, a lad in his mid teens, as he left what looked like a make shift infirmary. He looked up at the young woman, waiting for her to answer his question.

The woman poured a glass of water from a pitcher and offered it to Logan as he propped up on the pillow. She looked him in the eyes. "I'm Amanda and this is the base of the Maquis. You crash landed in the main hanger and were brought here."

Logan sipped the water as he listened to Amanda speak. He set the glass down and looked at her. "How is it you come to be here?"

Amanda retrieved the empty glass and placed it on a tray. "We've always been here. My mother was a physician's assistant when the spoonheads and their allies attacked. She was put in charge of hiding all the children."

Logan was confused about her story. The Cardassians had not been active in the Badlands Region since the end of the Dominion War. "You mean to tell me that you have been here for over 18 years?"

Amanda nodded as she opened her mouth to speak. The door to the infirmary opened before she could say anything though.

A strapping fellow in his early 20s walked in. He looked at Logan with a sneer. "Glad to see you are doing better Starfleet. I have some questions for you ... before you're executed that is."
