Host AGM_Selan says:
He had just awoken from his, well, rest.  Looking around the not so comfortable Brig he saw that he had his general posting of security officers, who were ever vigilant and ever quiet.  He mumbled something and then felt his stomach rumble, grumbling, he called out "When do I get fed?"

Two security officers, a female and male glanced at each other then the male turned and responded, "You were fed earlier."  Shinar rolled his eyes "What's the time ol' boy?"  The second officer sighs and glances at a nearby chronometer "1845 hours."

Shinar sits up abruptly, "I was fed seven hours ago, you bloody dolt."  The female quirks her eyebrow at the slightly English accent the Vulcan before them uses although their scans registered him as part human as well, they didn't explain this. "What are you lookin' at?" he asks her.

The male security officer speaks up, "I'll see about getting you some foo…."  Shinar interrupts, "Why not just take me down to the ol' mess hall?"

All of the Security Officers stare at him. "Or is it called a Lounge here, a kitchen, a slaughter house or what?"

The female one speaks this time "We have orders to keep you here for…"  Shinar stands up and sighs, "Y'know, as I'm supposed to be here for my own protection, I'd expect to have been let out of this ol' cage.  I'm sure the ol Federation Council would just LOVE to hear about the mistreatment of a guest who's supposed to be protected."

Shinar walks uncomfortably close to the force field, so close that it begins to sizzle in response, "Now c'mon gel ... I won't bite." he smiles.

The male security officer shrugs at the others, "As Lieutenant Ryan is unavailable now  well, fine but we will have to escort you until arrangements are made that you can go out on your own."

Shinar's smile turns into a grin as he steps back and crosses his arms, "Well, go ahead, let the ol' beast out."  The security officer throws a cautious glance to the others, who un-holster their phasers just in case and proceeds over and lowers the force field.

Minutes later, Shinar, along with an entourage of three security officers enters the Lounge, which is relatively empty as most of the crew are on duty.  Glancing over at a nearby chronometer, Shinar sees that the time is now 1853 hours.

"I'll see what the Chef has left that you can eat or you could use the replicator." speaks the female officer. "Can these replicators make clothing?" Shinar asks calmly. The male security officer gestures to a large replicator off to the side "That one can."

Shinar nods, smiles once again and brushes the light brown civilian suit that he had been earlier given in replacement for his tattered leather suit and he strides over to the aforementioned replicator.

"Aren't you still hungry?" asks the female officer.  Without looking at her, Shinar snidely replies, "I've changed my mind, Love." and goes over to the replicator and begins programming it.

1858 hours, tension fills the air, Shinar can feel something, but ignores it.  The computer just finished replicating him his requested clothing. "Ahh...here we go."  He turns around and nods at the security officers "We can go back to the ol' Brig now if ya want."

The male security officer is angry, "You mean we came here just so you could replicate clothing? You could have easily done that in the brig!"  Shinar begins to walk to the exit "Oh I know, I just thought you needed the exercise."

1859 hours, the hairs on Shinar's back stand up.  He's felt this before.  Those who've lived as long as he generally do.  "Hmmm ... troubles afoot" he enters into the nearby turbolift with his security entourage.

1900 hours, red alert blares throughout the ship as they exit onto the Brig deck.  Shinar looks up and around while carrying his clothing "What have we here?"

The Security Officers look at Shinar cautiously.  The male security officer draws his phaser.  Shinar looks surprised "What? You think I DID something?"

Suddenly, Lieutenant G'ria's voice fills the speakers, "All Hands report to stations.  A major seismic event has struck the city in which Captain Vakol and the rest of the senior crew reside.  Prepare relief efforts."  G'ria drones on, but Shinar soon loses interest as the Security Team moves him along to his cell in the Brig.

1901 hours, they leave a single guard for Shinar as the remainder rush to assist medical teams who are preparing to leave for the surface.

Shinar shrugs this off, not really caring what happens to those on the surface as he begins to change.  Moments later, he wears his new clothing and then turns to show the remaining security officer to see if she approves.

He wears a pair of black slacks, a black silk shirt and a long black leather trench coat.  "Ahh ... this is MUCH better, wouldn't you say, Love?" The Security Officer gives him a blank look.

::Shakes her head, and then shakes the MO a little:: MO: Snap out of it!  We need your help! There are injured here.

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> ::Sitting on some wreckage in the building, some blood trickling down his head, moaning::

Host CO_Vakol says:

CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Starts walking away::

@Adrianna: For some reason, we can't.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Walks back to the CO:: CO: Sir, I have a map on my tricorder of the surrounding area.  There is a hospital about 3 kilometers North of here.

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: It seems our communications up to the ship has been affected.  I'm trying telepathy.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Smiles, reassuringly:: MO: Good, it's going to be ok. We need you with us right now, okay?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Walks over to the MO, having an idea::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:17 - All around the XO and OPS screams and crying are heard.  In the distance sirens, explosions and the like continue.  Tall buildings lay in ruins, a few standing buildings are twisted and fallen over into each other, threatening to come down entirely in mere moments.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Almost walks past the President, not recognizing him because of his state::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods:: CTO: Excellent, Mister Ryan.  Go with Mister Baptiste and attempt to locate this planet's communications center.  The rest of us will make the hospital our command post.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Nods, although it's plainly obvious she's just not there mentally::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Thwaps her head and reaches out::  XO: ~~~Tealk, where are you?~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host Adrianna says:
@::Not sure she understood what the CSO said::

FCO_Baptiste says:
Gothraic President: Are you all right, Sir?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Looks up to the XO:: XO: She's a bit frightened.  She's snapping out of it, I think.  But I'd best stay with her or we should get her back to the ship, if that's possible.

OPS_Owens says:
::Reaches the exit and taps his COM badge to see if he can reach the Paula Greene wincing at all the horrid sounds::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> FCO: I..I..I think I hit my head.  Was there an attack?

Host CO_Vakol says:
All: Everyone hear that? Mister Baptiste and Mister Ryan will attempt to locate and use the planet's communications array. The rest of us are moving to a hospital to set up our command post.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Raises his head:: ~~~Here, my Love.  Everyone seems to be all right.  Where are you though?~~~

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: Can you pick up the XO?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Walks to the FCO::  FCO: We must make our way to the communications center.  ::Helps the FCO with the President::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: ::Yelling:: The President is over here!  He needs first aid!

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Raises her hand to the CSO as she concentrates::  ~~~XO:  We are down toward the beach, trapped and where is here?  I don't suppose you are still on the ship?~~~

OPS_Owens says:
::Hearing the FCO yell from inside wondering what President of what planet?  This memory loss is beginning to frighten him::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods:: XO: Will do, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CMO: Love, you are needed.  We have injured people everywhere~~~

FCO_Baptiste says:
Gothraic President: Sir, do you have communications facilities?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Scans the President with her tricorder::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Hollers back:: FCO: Take him with you and see to his medical needs.  Your priority is communications. All: The rest of you, can you all walk? ::Looks at the MO::

Host Adrianna says:
@::Tries to climb over the rubble of the fallen building, to see the Capitol Regions which are the most brilliant and beautiful regions of the entire city. Sees the fires, which are starting and more tears come to her eyes::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~MO: The City Hall, where the banquet was being held or what's left of it.~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
FCO: The President will be fine.  He has no broken bones and only minor scratches and cuts.

CNS_Richardson says:
CO: I'll help her along, she doesn't seem physically injured.  ::Tries to help the MO stand up::

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: Tealk, I am surrounded by injured people.  We need to get to the ship and get the teams down here.  Someone needs to start organizing the people.  Ask the President if there is a place we can set up as a center~~~

OPS_Owens says:
::Begins treating some of the injured with his Emergency Triage Training::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> FCO: I…I... yes, we do.  Why?  Don't you have your own communications? ::Confused:: What's going on? ::Looks around at the ruins of the building, sees the remains of his Tactical Advisor and winces::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Looks at the CTO and at the dazed look on the Presidents face::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CMO: We haven't found him yet but the Captain is trying to do just that.~~~

Host CO_Vakol says:
CNS: Understood, Counselor.  ::Begins to lead his group out of the Capitol Complex::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Feels herself being pulled, does not know where::

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~XO: As soon as you know, let me know~~~

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: Captain, my wife is on her way.  She suggests we setup a command center somewhere.

FCO_Baptiste says:
Gothraic President: Our communications seem to be down.  We were wondering if we could borrow yours?

CTO_Ryan says:
FCO: We must leave and try to find the communications center.  We can help the President walk.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Frowns slightly:: MO: Audrina, I need to help some of these people, do you understand? I need for you to stay close to me, can you do that for me?  It'll be okay, I promise.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Notices the Gothraic President:: Gothraic President: Are you all right, Sir?

Host Adrianna says:
@::Wipes away her tears and tries to be brave.  Pulls out what looks to be a radio of some sort, turns it on and is shocked at what comes through::

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: We need some place we can go were we can regroup.  ::Follows up after her::  I need your help,  ::Stands in front of her to catch her eyes::  please.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods:: XO: Inform her we'll be using the hospital in the Suburban Dek district for that.

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: What do you have there?

MO_van_den_Broek says:
CNS: I...........th.............I......................ev........................my...................::Starts to tremble more::

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~XO: Thanks, Love~~~

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Follows along, rendering help where he can while he moves through the rubble::

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: Can you take us to the Suburban Dek District?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:22 - A multitude of frightened, shocked voices fill Adrianna's radio. "Fires breaking out all over Rhae Ano" "Way 78 is down, several accidents" 
"Beaches are gone, flooding!" "Main bridges out, evacuation impossible!"

CNS_Richardson says:
::Gives her a quick hug:: MO: It'll be ok, I promise. Now, let's get to work, shall we? I need you to help me. ::Kneels down to an injured native, offering first aid, but still keeping an eye on the MO::

OPS_Owens says:
::Hands begin to shake as he suddenly is unsure what his position on the ship was before the accident. "Is he a medic?"

CTO_Ryan says:
::Follows the FCO out of the building looking for the Communications Center::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Grumbles:: CO: Captain, who did we leave in charge up there? I do hope they get someone down here soon.

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: Does that thing only receive signals or could it transmit as well?

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> FCO: I…I... there should be a system within the building.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Walks out into the street that seems to be surprisingly empty and looks left and right before crossing:: XO: Any of these vehicles usable?

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Stands looking blankly at the native, continuing to tremble::

Host Adrianna says:
@CSO: It receives signals and transmits them but with everyone filling the frequencies I don't think anyone would hear.

OPS_Owens says:
::Sees the Captain exit the building and moves towards him::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CTO: You stay with him and see that he gets to the hospital.  I am headed back inside.

CTO_Ryan says:
FCO: But, Sir, we have to find the communications center.  Those are our orders!  ::Grabs a hold of the President::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Glances at Amendoeira:: XO: Is something the matter, Commander?

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: So every channel is full?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Reaches up and takes the MO's hand, pulling her down:: MO: Here, hold this bandage in place.  ::Places the MO's hand over a makeshift bandage::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> ALL: What's going on?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Locates a fairly unscathed vehicle:: CO: Over here.  ::Looks at his CO::  No Sir.

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: Belay that. OPS: Find out if any of these vehicles can be used. XO: Come here, Commander.

Host Adrianna says:
@CSO: I think so.

OPS_Owens says:
CO: Sir, Lieutenant... err... uh... Lieutenant Owens reporting, Sir.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Starts a room-by-room search ::

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: May I see that?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:25 - Suddenly, the weakened ground under the vehicle and the XO collapses he begins to fall.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Points the vehicle he spotted to OPS, and follows the CO:: CO: Yes, Sir?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks at the President and tries to lightly slap his face to bring him around::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Holds the bandage somewhat, not realizing what is being asked of her, looking around her in terror::

OPS_Owens says:
::Snaps a salute not sure if he should or not::  CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Turns on a heel and "Goose steps"" towards the nearby vehicles::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Takes the radio, tries to find the Paula Greene's frequency::

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: The hospital.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Folds his arms across his chest:: XO: Does there seem to be a problem, Commander?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
All: Wow.  ::Reaches out trying to grab something to anchor himself ands stop falling::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Begins humming a little ditty as she works::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> ::Is slapped and is now angry:: CTO: What are you doing?! I ask to know what's going on, and you hit me?!

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Rushes from room to room noting the annihilation of some rooms::

OPS_Owens says:
::Climbs in the nearest one looking for some form of starter::

Host Adrianna says:
@CMO: The nearest hospital is that way. ::Points to the Capitol regions where the collapsed buildings are::

CTO_Ryan says:
Gothraic President: Sorry, Sir, I thought you were still in a stooper.  Can you lead me to the Communications Complex?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:27 - The XO manages to grab a hold of some rocks and is saved from falling into a collapsed tunnel below.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Offers his hand and helps the XO up::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::The bandage falls from her hand, not paying attention::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Hoist himself up to catch the CO's hand and starts climbing out of the hole::

OPS_Owens says:
::Begins wondering what side he fights on in the war.  "Am I a Nazi?  Or was it the British Isles?"  Engages the starter and nothing happens::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Pulls the XO out of his hole and stands him up:: XO: Are you all right, Commander?

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> CTO: We don't have a communications complex.  There is a communications system in the building somewhere.  What's going on? What happened?

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna/CMO: I can't seem to find the Paula Greene's frequency.  This may be too obsolete for SF purposes.  Maybe I can find an emergency channel.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Takes the MO's hand again, breaking her humming for a moment and places it back on the bandage:: MO: No, you need to keep the pressure on; like this, see? ::Her voice reassuring::

Host Adrianna says:
@CSO: Okay.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Wipes some dirt from his uniform and coughs from the dust:: CO: I will be, Sir.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Feels her hand move somewhere::

CTO_Ryan says:
Gothraic President: Sir, there seems to have been a major quake.  You were buried in the rubble and the FCO Baptiste pulled you out.  The city is in ruins.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods at the XO:: XO: Is there anything else?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Looks back at the hole that is now open behind him::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Slowly pans the frequency modulator to find any open channel::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> ::Is shocked::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Keeps hoping that her training will snap the MO back to reality::

OPS_Owens says:
::Climbs out finding a vehicle in pretty decent shape... a rather large one for carrying multiple people::

CMO_Biishe says:
@CSO: You need to alter it to be a transceiver.

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> CTO: I have to go to my family!  ::Gets up::

CTO_Ryan says:
Gothraic President: Sir, if you could lead me to the communications room?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: Seems like this region is highly unstable.  ::Motions to the hole:: I don't think we should move anywhere.

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: It IS a transceiver.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: We're likely to find more of these soft spots.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Finds a room with some electronics gear in it and searches through it trying to find anything that resembles a radio::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> ::Looks around the building:: CTO: I don't know where it is anymore.  I have to go to my family!  ::Still in shock, about to rush off::

CMO_Biishe says:
@CSO: I thought it was a receiver.  ::Looks around::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Shows the CMO the microphone::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Shakes his head:: XO: I don't think we should NOT move anywhere.  Risk is part of the business, Mister Amendoeira.  ::Walks off towards OPS::

CTO_Ryan says:
Gothraic President: I understand, Sir.

OPS_Owens says:
::Tries the starter on the vehicle::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Looks down with a nod::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Continues searching for an open channel::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Raises eyebrow:: CO: Certainly, Sir.  ::Walks with him::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> CTO: Please, I need your help.  Your Federation has powerful technology.  Please, help me!

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna, how much further?

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Walks up to OPS in the large vehicle:: OPS: Progress?

CTO_Ryan says:
Gothraic President: We can help you, however we must establish communications to our ship, in order to request assistance.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Moves on to the next patient:: MO: Keep that bandage in place.  I'm counting on you there.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Walks back to the exterior wall::

Host Adrianna says:
<Male Gothraic> ::Walks up to the CTO and the President, seemingly unscathed, having heard what they just talked about:: CTO: I may be of some service there, Ma'am.

OPS_Owens says:
::Notes the CO's arrival::  CO: None, Sir.  I'll find us a working vehicle before the Nazis return, Sir.  ::Snaps to attention::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Resumes her humming, hoping that will calm the MO, keeping an eye on her as she works on other injured::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> ::Turns:: Huroc!  Thank goodness you're here!  My family?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks at the Gothraic Male:: Gothraic Male: Sir?

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Starts to hear music in her head, very faintly at first, but almost recognizable::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Arcs an eyebrow at the "Nazi" reference:: XO: Commander?

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Walks outside:: CO: I am afraid it will have to be  a radio from somewhere else, the communications center was destroyed.  ::Hands him a door plaque::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> Gothraic President: I'm not sure where they are, Sir.  The Rigelity District was hit pretty hard by the quake.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Steps over rubble, running her medical recorder, trying not to see the deaths::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Takes the plaque from the FCO:: All: One of these must still function, find it!

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO: And the president?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: Sir, I would think that if the Paula Greene can't raise us, they'd try using the communication methods of this planet to do so, we should use their radios.

OPS_Owens says:
::Waits for further orders::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: I left him with the CTO while I searched.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Slowly searching through the frequencies::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods:: XO: My thoughts exactly.  That is what the CTO and FCO were attempting to do. ::Hands him the door plaque from the communications center::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CTO: I'm the Defense Advisor for the Advisory Commission.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Moves on to another patient, breaking her humming sporadically to speak reassuring words to those she's treating::

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: And how can you assist us, Sir?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Looks at the plaque, and back at Vakol::

Host Adrianna says:
@CMO: A few miles.  ::Continues to walk::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Looks about for the CTO::  CO: The CTO and the President are over there.  ::Points::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CTO: You won't be able to communicate with your ship.

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: And why is that, Sir?

OPS_Owens says:
::Notes the CO engaged in conversation and moves on to a transport like vehicle and climbs up into it::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::The music starts to get louder, ever so slowly::

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: A few miles?  ::Looks at the CSO::  Is there someplace nearby where me might try to communicate with the ship?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Keeps glancing at the MO, really, really wishing she'd snap out of this::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods to the FCO:: XO: Find us a working vehicle.  ::Walks over towards the CTO:: CTO:  What is the situation here, Lieutenant?

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: I'm trying to find an open frequency in order to transmit.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Goes over to Owens:: OPS: Any Luck?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, this is Defense Advisor Huroc.  He has informed me that we won't be able to contact the ship.

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc/CTO: And why is that?

OPS_Owens says:
::Engages the starter and notices a heavy rumble as the thing comes into a loud and furious action::  XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Yelling over the motor::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Has walked over with the CO and overhears::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods::  OPS: Good,  I do hope you know how to drive this thing?

CMO_Biishe says:
@CSO: If we can find a place that can help boost the power.  ::Looks over at Adrianna waiting for a reply::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CTO: Our sole defense against an alien invasion, Ma'am. You notice the satellites that were orbiting the planet?  Well, from the Tech End building the satellites are controlled.  If there were ever a severe military strike against our cities, or the planet itself, the satellites would immediately jam all non-Gothraic specific frequencies.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Changes to a different tune and keeps treating injured::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Hears an engine fire up and motions for the CNS to get the MO over to that vehicle::

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: What good is power without the carrier wave to carry the signal?

OPS_Owens says:
::Tries to determine how the vehicle works and looks at the XO as he voices the same concerns::

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: Is there a way to disable the satellites?

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Thinks: Ut Oh::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO/CTO: I've studied your transporter technology,  ::Gets a glazed over look::  which I must say is quite amazing, but unfortunately they use a signal which is jammed by the satellites as well.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Calls out:: CO: Sir, we're ready.  We should round up the injured and get going.

CMO_Biishe says:
@CSO: If you can get a frequency that is basically clear, does not matter what and boost the power, the ship has a better chance of getting the waves.

OPS_Owens says:
::Tries to look confident::  XO: Oh absolutely Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Catches the CO's motion:: CO: Acknowledged, we've treated the worst of the injured.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: Sir, there must be a way to disable the satellites.

FCO_Baptiste says:
Huroc: Where are they controlled?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CTO: Two ways, you shut down the satellites from the Tech End building in the Keskorth District or destroy the satellites. But the satellites are armed, so hopefully your ship hasn't tried the latter.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Hops off and starts helping people onto the back of the vehicle::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Finds a clear channel:: Adrianna/CMO: Got it.  ::Activates the microphone:: Anyone: This is Lieutenant Kent Raal of the USS Paula Greene, can anyone hear us?

Host Adrianna says:
@::Still crying as they walk through the broken district::

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc/FCO/CTO: There is a way to disable the satellites, its called phasers. We need to get to their spaceport.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Pulls out her tricorder and brings up the map and looks for the Keskorth District::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Stands up and helps the MO to her feet:: MO: We're going for a ride now, okay? ::Starts making her way out to the vehicle with the MO in tow, still murmuring reassuringly::

OPS_Owens says:
::Tries to move the thing into gear as it makes a horrible groaning noise::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Perhaps we could use the satellites rather than destroy them?

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Feels herself being pulled somewhere::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Rubs his chin:: FCO: What do you suggest, Mister Baptiste?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:38 - A peculiar Gothraic voice fills the CSO's radio: "And in the fourteenth day of Allasios the ground would open up and swallow the mighty city and those fit to rule would rule."

CSO_Raal says:
@::Awaits a response on the radio::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Maneuvers out and down steps to the vehicle with the MO in tow::

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: Where is your transportation center?  Umm... ships that fly but are not meant for space?  ::Trying to remember the Earth word for helicopters::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Let us go to that Command center and see if we can't at least use them to relay a signal to the Paula Greene.

Host Adrianna says:
@CMO: It’s not far from here, closer than the hospital.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Stops and looks at the CSO::  What did they say?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, the Keskorth District is quite a distance from here.  Perhaps we can commandeer a vehicle and make our way to the satellite control center?

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: Let’s try there.

OPS_Owens says:
::Notices some of the Away Team arriving and hopes he figures this thing out soon::

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> ALL: BUT my family!  I need you to help me save my family!

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Holds up a hand to the FCO::  Huroc: Do you think something like that might be possible?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods at the Ops officer as she loads the MO into the vehicle::

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: Sounds like some kind of prophecy.

OPS_Owens says:
::Assists the Counselor::

OPS_Owens says:
CNS: You haven’t seen any of the Nazis behind this attack yet have you?

CSO_Raal says:
@::Talks into radio again:: Anyone: I repeat, this is Lieutenant Kent Raal of the USS Paula Greene.  Can anyone read me?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Almost finishes with the loading of the people::

CNS_Richardson says:
OPS: Nazis? ::Looks a little confused:: There are Nazis here?

CMO_Biishe says:
@CSO: Yes, but a prophecy from whom?  ::Tugs the CSO down the side road they are turning onto::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:40 - The voice repeats to the CSO: "And in the fourteenth day of Allasios the ground would open up and swallow the mighty city and those fit to rule would rule.”

CNS_Richardson says:
::Decides it's not a good idea to try and figure it out:: Ops: Nope, haven't seen the Nazis.

CSO_Raal says:
@Voice: Who is this?

OPS_Owens says:
CNS: Who else would have been behind this attack?  This is bloody war after all.  ::Wonders what kind of soldier she is::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:41 - "And in the fourteenth day of Allasios the ground would open up and swallow the mighty city and those fit to rule would rule."

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: What is the 14th day of Allasios?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods her head:: OPS: Indeed, it surely must have been the Nazis.  Have you seen them?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: I suppose.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Makes the MO as comfortable as she can::

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: Properly trained Starfleet Officers have a way of making the impossible, happen.

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> CO: Please, I beg of you, help me find my family.  Please!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Finishes to get the last of the injured onto the truck:: CO: Sir, we're ready to go.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Finds a seat for herself in the vehicle::

Host Adrianna says:
@CSO: I have no idea, I've never heard of it.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Thinks: Even if we have to get out a bigger hammer::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Steps around an open water main, curious of the answer to the CSO’s question::

OPS_Owens says:
CNS: Not since the last bombing run last week.  Took out my bloody home in that one.

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: Never?

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO/CTO/Huroc/XO: We split up then.  The XO and his group will make a command post of the local hospital while the four of us head for the Tech building.

Host Adrianna says:
@CMO: Never.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic President> CO: Can you not spare one of your officers to help me find my family?!

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: How much further to the transportation fliers.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: CO: Yes, Sir.  ::Grins:: All aboard!!!!!  ::Motions for OPS to get going::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Frowns at the President, feeling for him as his own family doesn't live in the city::

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: Well, this stupid contraption keeps spitting back the words “On the 14th day of Allasios, the ground would open up and swallow the mighty city and those fit to rule, shall rule.”

CNS_Richardson says:
Owens: I'm sorry to hear that.

OPS_Owens says:
::Climbs back up into the drivers seat and prepares for the order.  Hears the XO::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Whispers to the XO:: XO: Sir, are you sure he's okay to drive?

Host Adrianna says:
@CMO: Right over this rubble.  ::Gestures to another fallen building, begins to climb over::

FCO_Baptiste says:
Huroc: Might not his family have gone to the hospital?

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: Well, the ground opening up sounds like an earthquake.

CMO_Biishe says:
@CSO: Try asking them the question you gave Adrianna.

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: You have your orders.  Setup a command post and begin offering relief to the wounded.  We'll make it to the Tech building and try to contact the Paula Greene.  We'll get you what help we can.  Good luck, Commander.

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Ready, Sir.  ::Throws it into gear and begins the slow process of accelerating::

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: It falls to you, then.  Please lead the way.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Whispers again:: XO: I think he took a nasty bump on the head; he shouldn't be driving.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Silently:: FCO: If they survived.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Slips on some rubble, just catching her balance as she follows Adrianna::

CSO_Raal says:
@Voice: What is the 14th day of Allasios?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Waves as the truck start moving:: CO: You too, Sir.  Try to hurry.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:45 - "And in the fourteenth day of Allasios the ground would open up and swallow the mighty city and those fit to rule would rule."

FCO_Baptiste says:
Gothraic President: Go with the XO to the hospital then we can hope they would meet you there.

CSO_Raal says:
@Voice: When is the 14th day of Allasios?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:46 - The truck begins to head off, carrying the XO's team.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS: Don't worry, Counselor, he's fine.  ::Turns to him and thinks: I hope he's fine::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Follows Huroc towards the Tech Building as he begins to lead the way::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Looks at the building before them as the make it over the rubble::

CNS_Richardson says:
XO: Sir, if you're sure.  ::Doesn't sound convinced::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> FCO: If they went to a hospital, it would be in the Rigelity district, which is in a different part of the city than the hospital I assume your friends are going to.

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, what direction am I to head in?  I'm not familiar with this part of Europe.

CSO_Raal says:
@Voice: I repeat, when is the 14th day of Allasios?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: The Tech End building is in a different part of the city.  Hopefully the hidden tunnels are still together.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Checks on the MO:: MO: You there?

FCO_Baptiste says:
Huroc: Oh.  ::Crestfallen::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:47 - No response to the CSO anymore.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Europe?:: OPS: Lieutenant, just head south. ::Tries to remember the map::

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna: What is today's date on the local calendar?

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Searches for some form of flying vehicle::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:47 - As the CSO, CMO and Adrianna clear the rubble, something similar to an Earth helicopter flies by them.  Below, a few vehicles remain where several men are fighting each other, trying to reach them.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Suddenly wakes up and snaps out of it::   Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, I suggest we try to commandeer a vehicle.  The Tech building is a long way from here and we have to cross a waterway to get there.

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Aye Sir.  ::Makes a wide slow turn around a corner and heads what he considers south since it's morning and the sun is on the left::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Convulses backwards and starts to make a scrabbling movement towards the edge of the vehicle in an attempt to get out::

CMO_Biishe says:
@CSO: One, how is your flying ability and two, do you have a phaser?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$OPS: Lieutenant. Are you all right?  ::Rocks with the vehicle::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Attention caught by the MO, she moves to her side:: Audrina: It's okay, you're safe.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Hears the channel is clear now:: Anyone: This is Lieutenant Kent Raal of the USS Paula Greene, Starfleet, United Federation of Planets.  Can anyone read?

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: What do you suggest?

Host Adrianna says:
@::Sees one of the men draw a weapon:: CMO & CSO: Oh no!  GET DOWN!

CSO_Raal says:
@::Ducks::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: I wish we had a Flitter or a shuttle or a Copter.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Drops::

OPS_Owens says:
$XO: I'll be bloody well better when we get out of Nazi controlled territory, Sir.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:49 - The man with the weapon opens fire.  It is like the guns of the 20th Century.  As bullets fly, two men are killed instantly as the others take cover.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Looks at his officers:: CTO/FCO: Wishing for such things does not make it so.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: A vehicle will work if we can find a cleared road.

CSO_Raal says:
@Anyone: Emergency at the heliport!  Shots fired!  Two men down!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Frowns:: OPS: Lieutenant, maybe I should drive?

OPS_Owens says:
$XO: No Sir, I've got it well under hand Sir.  You worry about the plans for our counter attack.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Grips the MO firmly by the shoulders:: MO: It's all right, calm down. We're safe now.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: I shall look for a vehicle.  ::Walks away::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: Get me off this!!!!!!  I got to get off!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ::Screaming at the top of her voice::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:50 - The XO's team's truck comes to a dead end as a building has collapsed on the road in front of them.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Pulls out her medical tricorder::  CSO: I have an idea, but both of you need to cover your ears.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Looks around for detours::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Covers his ears::

Host Adrianna says:
@::Looks confused, covers her ears::

Host CO_Vakol says:
CTO/FCO: Spread out and find a vehicle, something large. ::Moves to the nearest all terrain vehicle he sees::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Tries to restrain the MO:: MO: It's all right, calm down; we're going to a safe place. Owens is taking us to safety.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Turns back and shakes his head at the CNS::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Umm….are you armed, Sir?

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Alters the frequency to a high pitch meant to stun, then putting her hands over her ears, sets it off, using her elbow::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$OPS: Lieutenant, Turn back.  I saw a clear road a block back.  We need to get around this.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Catches the XO's glance, communicating with her glance that she thinks the two of them are going to have their hands full::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Sees an empty truck and walks over to it::

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO: As a matter of regulation, Mister Baptiste, I rarely carry a phaser to diplomatic functions.  ::Tries the key in the ignition of the vehicle::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:51 - The CMO's tricorder emits such a high-pitched frequency that even the CMO, CSO and Adrianna hear it through closed ears.  Many of the men pass out, those who don't run screaming.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: How are you with a throwing dagger?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Opens the door and checks for a key but doesn't find one::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: You don't understand!!!!!!!  You got to let me off!!!!!!!!!!

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Keeps making reassuring murmurs to the MO, as she holds her firmly by the shoulders::

OPS_Owens says:
$XO: Aye.  ::Slows the vehicle down at a park using the large area to turn around in::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:51 - The truck the CTO finds is in working condition, however it's windshield was shattered by falling debris.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$OPS: That is the way to the uhmm…Control center where we can plan for our counter attack.  We need to get there in a hurry.

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: Good job.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Quickly turns it off, wanting to do as little harm as possible::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks under the floor matt, in the ashtray then pulls down the visor and the keys fall on her head::

Host Adrianna says:
@::Her ears are ringing:: Wow.

CMO_Biishe says:
@CSO/Adrianna: Let’s go.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Quirks an eyebrow as the vehicles engine fails to turn over:: FCO: Mister Baptiste, I couldn't hit the side of a Starbase with the Paula Greene.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Comes close to losing her temper, but restrains it:: MO: I do understand, you are safe; just relax!  ::Her voice loud::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Follows CMO, carrying the radio::

FCO_Baptiste says:

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: Help me!  Help me!  Please let me go, please let me go, please let me go, please just LET ME GO!!!!!!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Sitting next to OPS::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Picks up the key and inserts it into the ignition and turns the key::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Hurries down to the area and for a seeming functioning flying contraption::

OPS_Owens says:
$XO: You can bloody well count on me, Sir.  We British never surrender without a fight.  ::Returns the way they came and turns a block down the road::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:53 - The truck starts up to the CTO's glee.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Turns back and shouts:: MO: Lieutenant. Get a hold of yourself, you are a Starfleet Officer, behave like one!!!

$::Slaps the MO:: MO: That's enough of that!  We are safe!  Snap out of this!

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO: I don't think there is much cause for concern at this point, Lieutenant but don't go too far, all the same.  ::Sees the CTO having some luck with a vehicle::

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: I don't suppose you fly?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Shakes head and sticks his head out of the truck, shouting:: All: Anyone who is injured, please, get on the truck. We are going to the nearest hospital!!

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Hears the sound of an engine starting::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:54 - Of the three remaining "helicopters," only one seems to be fueled.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Thinks: Oh cool! Shouts out:: CO: Sir!  I have found a usable vehicle!

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Feels the slap and stops abruptly, more out of shock than anything else, her breathing swift and shallow::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Notices they are making good progress:: OPS: There, that way.  ::Points to an unobstructed street that has a sign with a red cross on it::

Host Adrianna says:
@CMO: No Ma'am.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Continues to accelerate to avoid being stopped by any sudden Nazi surprises::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Resumes her reassuring murmurs::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Takes off his sword belt and hands it to the CO:: This should provide some protection, Captain, just in case.

Host CO_Vakol says:

CTO_Ryan says:
::Shoves the stick shift into reverse then "leaps" the vehicle backwards as she let’s out the clutch::

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna/CMO: I'll fly.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Dismounts his vehicle and hurries over to the CTO with the FCO in tow::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:55 - The acceleration of the XO's vehicle by OPS causes them to ride over some rubble and tilt hard to the right.  Soon they fall over and start to skid on their side, sparks flying all over the place.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Looks at the multitude of gadgets and mumbles under her breath::

CNS_Richardson says:
$MO: Now, just get a hold of yourself, you hear me? We need you here!  You're an officer!.  We have a duty to perform!

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: You..........you hit me.......

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Looks around for Huroc:: CTO/FCO: Where did the Defense Minister go?

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: I have no idea. ::Frowns as he scans about::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Looks dubiously at the CSO::

OPS_Owens says:
$Self: Bloody Nazi!!!

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: I've worked with similar things at the Academy.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Follows the CO, CTO, and FCO as the President comes running behind them, still begging for assistance with his family::

CNS_Richardson says:
$MO: Yes and I'll do it again if you don't get a grip, Missy!

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Nods and shifts over to give him the pilot’s seat::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Here he is.

CTO_Ryan says:
FCO: She's all yours, Sir.  ::Puts the truck into neutral and gets out of the cab::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Is glad that the MO is finally speaking coherently::

CMO_Biishe says:
@Adrianna: Point us in the general direction.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Takes pilot seat and effortlessly powers up helicopter::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: You….you hit me?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Climbs into the truck bed and sits down::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:55 - The truck comes to a stop and the XO's team is a jumble following the crash.

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~XO: Tealk, we have urrr... commandeered a flying contraption.  Any advise or should we just head for the hospital?~~~

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Frowns at the president:: FCO: Mister Baptiste, please do the driving. Huroc: If you would be so kind as to navigate.  CTO: Mister Ryan, we will bring the President with us but please subdue him.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Climbs in behind the "wheel" and surveys the controls::

CNS_Richardson says:
$MO: Not hard, actually, just trying to get you to calm down and it worked, see? ::Grins:: It wasn't a hard slap, just tried to get your attention, hon.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Looks at the President: Sir, please do not worry too much.  We will get to your family after we have established contact with the ship.  We can find them using our technology and transport them to our ship.  ::Helps the President into the truck bed::

CSO_Raal says:
@Adrianna/CMO: Fasten your seatbelts.  We're taking off.  ::Pulls back on stick::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Struggles to get up and out of the truck by the driver's window:: OPS: Owens, we need to get out.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: Wha....where.....what happened?

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Finds herself suddenly in a jumble::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Seatbelt fastened, hangs on with white knuckles::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Nods, wondering what the CO meant by "subdued"::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Pushes in what he hopes is the clutch and puts it into gear:: Huroc: Which way?

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Wonders what happened, then remembered who was driving::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Looks around::  All: Everyone all right?  We seemed to have fallen into a Nazi road hazard.

Host Adrianna says:
@::Pales slightly and belts up wondering if the CSO really knows how to pilot this thing::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Feels the helicopter-like machine lift::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Climbs into the back of the vehicle sitting down heavily next to where the CTO is going to place the President::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:58 - The controls of the helicopter are unfamiliar to the CSO, and it lifts, but goes backward fast.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Shakes head:: OPS: Lieutenant, we need to get these people to the.. uhh umm….Control Center.  Find us another working vehicle.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Compensates and moves the vehicle forward::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Manages to scramble out of the vehicle after making sure the MO isn't injured:: OPS: A road hazard indeed.  ::Mumbles::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Gasps:: CSO: The other direction.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:59 - The helicopter begins to move forward and is aloft.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$~~~CMO: Love, we're having trouble getting anywhere.  We're on our way.

CNS_Richardson says:
$XO: Next time maybe you should drive?

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: Relax, Doc!

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Suddenly finds herself upside down::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$~~~CMO: Slowly, but head for the hospital, you'll do the most good there~~~

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 7:59 - The three in the helicopter get a view of the decimated city. Below, fires rage uncontrollably, smoke fills the sky.  Nearly all the external bridges are out.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Reaches back into the vehicle to try and help free the MO::

FCO_Baptiste says:
Huroc: Which way?

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~XO: We are on our way.  Love, the damage as seen from the air, it is bad.  The fires are getting out of hand.  Perhaps we should start moving people out of the city?~~~

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Sits back:: FCO: Don't stop for any red lights.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 8:00 - The first Aftershock hits.
