After having been poked and prodded with all sorts of medical instruments the purpose of wich had failed to register with Artus, he had been interrogated for several more hours.
"Is this how you treat everybody who comes home after a mission? Why won't anybody tell me what's going on!"
The securtity officer pushed him back into his chair.
"Easy, sir. All will be explained at your debriefing."
Artus shrugged.
"And here was I hoping that this was my debriefing....
You do realise that you are making me late for my appointment with a long overdue Caprican Whisky, don't you?"
"If you could please tell us what happened during your mission.."
Artus sighed.
"Look, I've told you this so many times before. Last thing I remember was going after that Cylon Base ship that Agelastus had discovered over Pangara Major Delta. Now would any of you boys happen to have a Fumarillo on you?"
"No, sir."
"Then will you tell me what the "felgercarb is going on?"
"You will be debriefed by your commanding officer."
"Right. And who's that going to be? Lieutenant-Colonel Charybdis? Major Brie? Captain Amy?"

"That would be Hawke. But I doubt if he has time to see you now."
"Hawke? Wasn't he out on the mission with me? Why wouldn't he have time for me now?"
"Because the Callisto is on a shipwide scramble right now and he has more important things to deal with than Cylon colaborators right now!" the security guard yelled.
The other guard held him back.
"Stay silent, you have said too much already..."
Artus face went from amazement, to dismay, to abject horror.
"What the..."
He stood up.
"Look, I don't care what you think of me, but if there is a shipwide scramble going on, I need to get to my viper!"
Both the security guards pulled out their batons. The second looked straight at Artus and said:
"No sir, what you need to do right now is sit down..."

Artus looked at the two guards.
If only he had his sword, then he could have quickly dispatched with them and made his way out of here. In a reflex his right hand want to his left hip.
Then suddenly he stopped. What was he thinking? His sword? Where did all that felgercarb come from?
The guards were getting nervous.
"Now just sit right down, sir..." one of them insisted.
Artus stared at him, but then pulled up the chair. He smiled at the security guards.
"You're right. Perhaps I had better sit down. I'm feeling a little light headed."

They stay like that for a long time.
One of the guards fiercly looking at Artus the whole, time, while the other seems more interested in following the Triad game through his link.
Artus sighed.
"How much longer is this going to take?"

Artus was getting enough of this.
He stood up.
The guard who had been looking at him fiercly immediately reacted.
"Just where do you think you're going?" he snapped.
Artus tried to look innocent.
"I have to relieve myself."
The guard growled.
"Not on my watch!"
Artus cringed.
"Hey look, how's it going to look to everybody if a Colonial Warrior walks out there after he's pissed his pants. That would just scare the civillians because they would think that the fleet was in trouble or something."
The second guard took his eyes off the screen.
"He's right you know.."
The first guard started steaming.
"Allright then, quickly. And we're coming with you."
Artus glanced over at the monitor.
"Are those the finals?"
"Yes they are, " said the second guard; "look, you take him. I don't want to miss any more of this."
Artus moved to the door.
"I also wouldn't want to miss much more of that so I'll be right back."
The first guard opened the door.
"There you go, but don't try anything, I'm right behind you."
Artus walked over to the head.
"Do you plan on coming in here with me? The doc did say I shouldn't lift anything heavy on my own..."

As Artus stepped inside he quickly pulled the rank pin from his collar. It wasn't the first time he had to destroy articles of his clothing to be able to escape.
He stopped himself right there. Where did that thought come from? He never had to escape from anything before did he?
With a shrug he turned around and started to work on the locking mechanism of the door. He had the casing open in no time at all and jammed the pin where it would short circuit the lock.
He then pulled the door open and shouted to the guard standing there:
"By the Lords of Kobol! Will you have a look at this?"
Taken by surprise the guard automatically looked past Artus. That was all he needed. Artus grabbed the guard and spun him round, throwing him into the cabinet. Then he slammed the door shut. With the pin shortcircuiting the locking mechanism, the door locked itself closed.

The security guard started screaming, so Artus made sure he got away from there quickly. He had no idea what was going on. He had just returned from a mission and something had obviously happened to the Callisto. He just didn't know what, but he was determined to find out.
His gun was taken when he was brought into sickbay, so the chances were it might still be there. That was closer anyway than going to the armory as well as less protected. It was a gamble, but so was this attempt at a breakout.
He passed two technicians in the hall that looked at him strangely. Then suddenly he heard someone behind him shout;
"Stop that man!"
Without hesitation Artus went into a full run, turning the corner towards sickbay.

As he rushed around the corner, Artus could see a few security guards coming straight at him from the direction of sickbay.
Fearing he might be trapped, he turned towards the first door he could find, just down the hall from sickbay.
He tried to open it but it seemed like something was blocking the door.
He slammed his fist into it.
"Felgercarb!"

Thinking quickly, Artus ran towards the security guards coming from the direction of sickbay.
He shouted at them;
"Come quick, he's locked himself inside that door there!"
They looked blankly at him.
"Look, you two guard this side, I'm going to check around back to see if that room has another exit. I'll try and see if I can get some reinforcements as well."
The security guards pulled out their weapons and took up positions on each side of the door."One of them said to Artus;
"You go ahead sir, we'll take care of it on this end."
Artus smiled.
"Be carefull though, we believe he may be armed."
"Don't worry about us, sir. We're prepared."the other one said as he took the safety off.
Artus gave him a short nod and ran down the hallway towards sickbay.

The two security guards that had been chasing after Artus ran into the two standing guard over the door.
A red faced security guard that had been chasing Artus asked them;
"Where did he go?"
One of them guarding the door pointed his gun towards the door.
"He's locked himself in there."
The red faced guard started to smile.
"Good. That means he has nowhere to run..."
He also pulled out his weapon. Then he walked up to the door and started banging on it.
He shouted;
"Hey you in there. Come out with your hands up or we're going to have to come in shooting!"
