Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says: 
CSO: Cmdr?  Damage report, and what was that last noise?

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::reports to the C&C and proceeds to the Science Station and runs a level 5 diagnostic::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::looks up and notices Syarta:: Syarta: You ready to go?

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CO: Ma'am, there is no damage to the station and according to my sensors, that was a geodesic sounding from the quake.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Syarta> ::Nods and gestures for Kytra to enter the vehicle first::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CSO: From where?  It must have been close...

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::opens the door and climbs into the front passenger seat::

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Checking computer interlink mains::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Syarta> ::Sits in the back while his Aide begins to drive off::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::checks the sensors:: CO: It looks like it originated 2.5 km from the epicenter of the quake. Not actually part of the quake.....

Host Iu says:
::Tears run down his face, as a grimace of pain makes its way across the yellowish surface::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::in C&C, coordinating repair teams for the minor problems they encountered::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CSO: Explain.  What wasn't a part of the quake?  What was it then?

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CO: A result of the quake on the tectonic plates further from the epicenter.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
CEO: Some of the data links appear to be offline

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CO: A landslide perhaps.

Host Iu says:
::Stands up, whistles a harsh sound sequence of notes and turns leaving his arboretum::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::looks around at the landscape as they drive along::

Host Iu says:
@ <Syarta> Kedi: It will take awhile for us to reach the university its about 30 kms away from here.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CEO: Lt?  How many systems are effected by the disruptions?

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
CEO: Repair teams 4 and 5 are reporting to data transfer nodes

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::nods to Syarta:: Syarta: Okay

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Omnis: Probably conduits the Corps was working on, the connections were already loose. ::running a background diagnostic program::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CSO: Brock, contact the High Echelons and see if there is any assistance that we can offer.

Host Iu says:
::From the Command Balcony above Thelsh and Brock::  Thelsh: They are dying.  Rocks and dirt are suffocating them.  They bleed.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::sends an encoded message to the High Echelon offering assistance if needed::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Thelsh: Looks like we're back to manual operation of the computer; voice commands are down, and some of the Starfleet modules have been knocked offline, most of the major systems have reverted to Dominion GUIs.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::looks up at Iu::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
Iu: Who? What are you saying?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Startled, turns to look up at the balcony:: Iu: What?!??!!?  How did you get up .... Who is dying?  What do you mean?

Host Iu says:
<Yokati_Clon> ::Looking at Iu on the Command Balcony in surprise not hearing him arrive and then turns::  Thelsh: Captain, a local emergency group is on the comm.

Host Iu says:
Brock: The Children of the Mountain... my people.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::leans back in her seat, feeling the wind in her hair::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Yokati: Put it on the main speaker, First.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::puts the comm on speaker::

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
CEO: We'll have to run the Starfleet startup routines

Host Iu says:
@ <Syarta> Kedi: Is there anything you'd like to know before we arrive Miss Kedi?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Iu: How do you know your people are in trouble?  Where are they?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::thinks:: Syarta: Are there any cute guys there? Do you have any nightclubs? Is this a prominent school?

Host Iu says:
<Hais EMS> *All*: Abertura Station, this is Mountain Rescue, we just witnessed a massive landslide on the south side of Mount Guenn.  It has actually engulfed a Haispoi village, we are beginning rescue efforts, but we are not equipped to get there.  We need assistance.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::sets the sensors to maximum and scans the area of the landslide::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
self: Damn these sensors.

Host Iu says:
Thelsh: Mount Guenn... ::trails off as tears run down his face::

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Hears COM from Mountain rescue and wonders if he should answer::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks up at the grief stricken Haispoi:: EMS: Acknowledged.  We can send ground and air support.  Send a list of what you need and the location and we will meet you there.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CO: Sir, I propose that we set up a sensor platform on a geosynchronous orbit above the station. We would extend our sensor capability.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::smiles as she waits for Syarta's answer::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CSO: Fine... but later...

Host Iu says:
<Hais EMS> *Thelsh*: We will be at the base of the landslide working out way uphill.  Our air support is an hour away.  We will need medical support.  We are guessing there are about a 100 Haispoi in that village.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::makes a note and categorizes all the materials needed for the commsat / sensor platform::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Prep the Aero shuttles, all four.  All medical personnel to the shuttles, and Michael, bring some mining type gear.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::hasn't responded to Omnis, listening to the emergency comm::

Host Iu says:
::Iu leaves C&C without anyone noticing::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: The Aeroshuttles will hold 4 crew and 15 passengers... that means we can handle almost 60 in transporting...

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::hears the Captain, but it takes a moment for him to realize that HE is Michael::
Thelsh: Yes sir.. should I see if the Klingons can spare any men?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Lets move people.  :Yokati: First, you have the C&C.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::hums to herself::

Host Iu says:
@ <Syarta> Kedi: Cute guys?  Err.. I suppose.  Kayairn University is one of the most prestigious on the Illan Continent.  There is nightlife, but I am not sure what a nightclub is.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::sending a comm to some engineers on the lower decks to prepare all aeroshuttles for emergency launch, and prep the runabout for possible usage::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Moves toward the lift, waiting for others to join her::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::grins:: Syarta: A nightclub? Where young people go to ...hang out? Relax and dance and things.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Someone somewhere activates the Medical Emergency system, and Red and White rotating lights activate all over the station in preparation for incoming casualties.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CEO: Absolutely... Medics preferably, Engineers as well.

Host Iu says:
@ <Syarta> Kedi: The young ones participate in something called MoonRise Celebrations.. I am unfamiliar with what goes on there.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Joins the Captain on the lift::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::turns to look at him:: Syarta: Is there one soon?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Omnis: Come on, we'll need the manpower.
::taps comm badge::
*General Ranuck*: General, this is Lieutenant Lambert ::walking towards the Lift:: There is a medical emergency as a result of the recent quake, we're leading a convoy to attempt a rescue from a landslide, if you have any available men or equipment to spare, we would appreciate it.

Host Iu says:
@ <Syarta> Kedi: They usually occur at the end of the study week for the young ones.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::with tool kit in hand:: CO: I'm ready sir

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Lift: Level 1

Host Iu says:
<Ranuck> *Lambert* How many men do you need?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::thinks:: Syarta: Would it be okay if I went to one?

Host Iu says:
@ <Syarta> Kedi: I do not see why not.  I will get one of the prefects to escort you once we arrive.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::blushes:: Syarta: I'm nothing special

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::reports with the rescue team::

Host Iu says:
@ <Syarta> Kedi: You are a guest of the High Echelons, you must be properly escorted.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
*Ranuck*: As many as you can spare General; number of casualties is unknown at this point. We'll know more when we reach the area.

Host Iu says:
<Ranuck> *Lambert* I'm sending twenty men to the Hangar.  Will the Jem'Hadar be assisting?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Arrives on level 1 moves out to the garage/hanger::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
*Ranuck*: I... haven't contacted the Jem'Hadar for assistance.

Host Iu says:
<Ranuck> *Lambert* Understood.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::blushes:: Syarta: Sheesh

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::follows the captain out::

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::turns to look at CEO::

Host Iu says:
ACTION: The Hangar is a bustle of action as Aero-Shuttles are loaded up as field medics begin organizing things.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
CEO: Where do you want the Engineering teams deployed?

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Ranuck and 19 men arrive and begin assisting in loading supplies quickly.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
::has his personal science kit and boards the vehicle::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Get loaded and get those Aeroshuttles up in the air.  Brock, make sure that the ground vehicles have proper drivers. I know that they will take a while to make it to the scene but we will need all the personnel we can muster.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Then join me in the Runabout.  I want to be in the air in 10 min.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Two of the Aero-Shuttles lift off nearly silently.. and begin the trek to the landslide.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brock says:
CO: Aye sir. ::organizes the ground vehicles::

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Nods at the Captains order and then looks to the Chief::

Host Iu says:
@ ACTION: Two vehicles speed past Syarta's Vehicle, emitting an odd undulating sound as they pass.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Omnis: Help the Klingons in loading the gear. Are you qualified to fly an aeroshuttle?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks around and notes only Fed and Klingons working on the rescue... thinks about it then makes a decision:: *Laevon* Thelsh to Laevon.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Two of the ATWVs head out of the Garage, Ranuck driving one.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
CEO: Haven't been certified yet, but now’s a good of time as any

Host Iu says:
<Laevon> *Thelsh* Yes Captain, what can I help you with?

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::turns to find the klingon loading crew::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Laevon* There has been a landslide in the mountain.  Direct any JH medics to join us in the hangar, or if there is a problem with that, send a couple of squads just for manpower

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Another of the Aero-shuttles takes off, the final ATWV and Aero-Shuttle are almost loaded, same with the Runabout.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::turns to Syarta:: Syarta: What's going on?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Omnis: I'll be your co-pilot then, find me in Aeroshuttle number 4, I'll get her powered up.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Takes a look to what else is left to be loaded::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::moves into the Assunpink, starting the preflight sequence::

Host Iu says:
<Laevon> *Thelsh* The Jem'Hadar are not "medics".  I will send my soldiers to ensure this endeavor succeeds, Laevon out.  ::In a really snarky voice::

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
CEO: You got it chief, everything seems to be loaded

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Knew she hadn't wanted to talk to him:: Self: One of these days....

Host Iu says:
ACTION: A Elderly Haisian Woman enters the runabout and stands behind Thelsh

Host Iu says:
<Woman> Thelsh: Captain Thelsh?

Host Iu says:
ACTION: The Final ATWV speeds out of the Garage loaded with Klingons.

Host Iu says:
@ <Syarta> Kedi: I have no idea, probably some emergency.  That was EMS.  We will be arriving at the University soon.  ::He says as the driver leaves the highway::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::gets into the aeroshuttle, relieving the pilot and allowing Omnis to get up front::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks around, kind of annoyed at being interrupted with the preflight:: woman: Yes?  Who are you?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::nods:: Syarta: Okay

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Six Female Jem'Hadar arrive in the Hangar and carry some of the remaining supplies aboard the Runabout.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::jumps into the seat and quickly powers up::

Host Iu says:
<Woman> Thelsh: I am Endara Trull, I'm a Doctor.  I heard about the emergency, I live near here, not far.  I thought I could help.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks past the woman, seeing JH enter the runabout:: All: GET IN HERE EVERYONE!  WE ARE LEAVING NOW!

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
CEO: You ready for my solo Chief? ::Grins::

Host Iu says:
ACTION: The last of the supplies and personnel are loaded aboard the Runabout.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks back at Trull:: Trull: Really?  Well it seems that we can use a doctor about now... find a seat somewhere.  We are out of here.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::carefully and quickly pointing to the correct controls to use, then instructs him (I assume Omnis is a he) to launch::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Omnis: Ready as I'll ever be, let's go.

Host Iu says:
<Trull>  ::Nods and takes a seat, looking shocked at the Jem'Hadar females and few Klingons aboard with a smattering of Starfleet species::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Sees the last person get aboard, shuts the hatch and take the Assunpink up and out of the hanger, headed to the landslide at the best possible speed::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::reaches in her purse and pulls out her compact, checking her make up and hair before getting to the University::

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Takes a look around the craft to see that all is clear:: CEO: Here goes....::Gently pulls back on the power::

Host Iu says:
<Yokati_Clon> *Thelsh* Captain, Haisian Air Space Control has cleared the area for you, you have a clear direct vector to Mount Guenn.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: The Assunpink leaves the Hangar, followed closely by the final Aero-Shuttle.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Eyes widen as thrusters begin to power up and the craft rises rocking::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* Acknowledge. ::pushes the runabout as hard as it can for such a short flight::

Host Iu says:
@ ACTION: The Vehicle turns down a laneway dodged by massive dark green trunked trees that look like bamboo, but much thicker, as the main dome-like building of Kayairn University looms towards them.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Omnis: The proximity alarm system will let you know when you get too close to the runabout... ::notes the slight decrease in acceleration and handling:: Self: Must be the added equipment..

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::looks around:: Syarta: Wow it's pretty

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Taps control to view surrounding craft:: CEO: A lot of them in the air, I'll just follow.....

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Very quickly arrives at the slide site, taking a first aerial view of the disaster::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::points to some buttons:: Omnis: If you tap into the other aeroshuttle's systems, you can program the craft to follow the other ships in an exact path, and give you time to do other stuff if you need to.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: As the Assunpink and final Aero-Shuttle arrive, they see the massive devastation the landslide has caused.  A massive scar is evident from near the middle of the mountain all the way down the side, a massive of dirt, rocks, fallen trees now cover the area.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
::Begins to look for a place to set down, Is amazed at the destruction::

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Two of the Aero-shuttles have already begun search patterns... The small group of Starfleet and Klingon officers that arrived by shuttle are already walking in a line up the slope of the damage on the ground.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks for a landing site near whatever passes as the command center for the disaster::

Host Iu says:
ACTION: The other Aero-shuttle is landed near a temp base-camp set up by Haisian EMS who are tending to the few survivors they have recovered already.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Sees the base camp, moves to land the runabout as near as possible::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::looking out the window at the destruction, wondering how many people are still alive::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Sets the Assunpink down, fairly gently:: All: Unload and form up squads outside.  I will find out where they want us to search.  Dr Trull, I guess you get to set up a triage center wherever you can.

EO_Ens_Omnis says:
CEO: We setting down or joining the search team?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::tries to remain calm as she notices students walking to class and such, and misses home::

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Most of the Haisians wince as the Runabout moves closer its noisy anti-grav systems annoying them.
