Resume USS Andromeda "Federation Vice" 10711.18
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Our heroes and heroine are hiding in the forest
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: They have succeeded in landing undetected
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The forest surrounds the perimeter of the base but does not extend into the base because there is a border fence
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The base has one guard tower on each corner of the fence which is shaped in a square
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are regular deliveries into the main gate of the base
 
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The base is powered by a power plant which is in a different facility
 
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
XO: So, what's our plan
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Night has fallen
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The area is softly lit by the glow of the area's stars
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CSO: We wait and see what happens to those guards at the shift change
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Her eyes search the area looking for the energy beast, which she fully intends to take back with her.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The energy beast is down the road in a crate on the loading dock
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CSO: There's no reason to assume that we've been detected yet, so we're not in a bad hurry.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Shifting slightly, she sees her target.:: ~~~~ Energy Beast: I am here... you are safe...~~~~
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The guards enter the shift change and begin to change
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Watching carefully waiting for that moment:: All: Be ready to run like hell
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Sits in the forest, observing the guards::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Beast sniffs the air and begins to paw at its cage
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CTO: Blow the charge on the latch and let the energy beast out
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The  guards begin to change and start talking
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the XO::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Nods, wondering if they can get close enough for her to let it out.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Presses the button::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The beast frees himself unnoticed and begins bounding towards the forest
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: It should be coming over here now..
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Realizes it is in the opposite direction and says and mentally growls herself.  She did not want to leave it behind.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The explosive device the CTO installed goes off setting ablaze several crates in the dockyard, several of the other unloaded beasts get loose and cause chaos
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Realizing it is free, she relaxes and then stiffens.  Quietly::  XO: Ummm... the energy beast has escaped its holding.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The beast arrives with the party rather happy to be free of its captors
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: The should be something of a panic going on at the dock. We should have an opening quite soon.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: We're making a distraction
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The party can hear the confusion going on at the dock, several guards rush down the road from the base
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks at the beast next to her.::  XO: You have no idea...
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Vehicles are leaving the base for the dockyard as robots and workers try to capture the loose beasts who start howling
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Reaches out to the creature, calmly.::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Looks to see if the guards have moved::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Energy Beast> ::rather large dog like creature made of energy with visible claws, it changes color according to its mood, it is calm now and aqua-marine in color::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Looks for openings in the perimeter guard::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The shift change is almost complete and the tower guards are distracted for the moment
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Go!
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Moves as fast as he can quietly into the power base while avoiding the guards::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Gets up and starts running after the XO::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action:  Under cover of darkness, the team manages to enter the base and hide behind one of the buildings
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Keeping her thoughts settled within the beasts, wanting it to remain quiet and to follow, she herself follows behind the CTO::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The base is a large bomb making like facility
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Her heart thumping louldy in her ears, she plasters herself to the building.::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Flips open his tricorder and scans for the power core::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The base is divided into a power plant , a bomb making factory and a communications array building
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Keeps guard as the others work on planning objectives::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The power plant building actually is the building the team is hiding behind
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The building has one door and many window like structures
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Just following others, rather scared of doing anything by himself::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Slowly moves around to a window to have a look in::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Beast> ::remembers it was the CSO who kicked his cage and low growls at him::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Lays a calming hand on the beast, thinking she needed a name for it.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: As the XO peers into the window he notices that there is no actual structure which generates energy inside but rather there is a portal with an energy beam coming from it
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Curses and then looks for a door::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Watches the guards for signs of actively looking for intruders::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There is a main door with one guard
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Points at the CTO and points to the guard and makes a signal to take him out::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The guards do not seem to be looking for intruders, over a radio like device the crew hear that several crates have caught fire and the guards are trying to put out the fire
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Raises his phaser rifle and sets it to maximum stun and aims at the guard::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Starts moving silently towards the guard, aiming his rifle::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Adjusts the power to heavy stun, aims carefully and fires::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The guard is taken by surprise and drops, he drops a communicator and an energy rifle
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The phaser rifle is drained of 10 percent energy
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Runs to grab the guard's equipment::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Just following the scene, not doing anything::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Runs over to the guard and picks up the communicator and clips it to his belt and then moves to the door::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CTO loots the body and recovers the weapon and the  communicator
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Gets quickly back to the others::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Scans the door for any signs of a trap::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The body remains on the ground
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Quietly::  CTO: Did he have something to deactivate the door?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The door is not trapped but it does have a keypad
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: No. Just a weapon and a communicator.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: We should move quite fast, the detonators will be discovered eventually.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Rips off the panel and starts hacking it::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CSO: Can you do something about that lock?
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: I'll try.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Steps aside::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Tries to disable the lock::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: After using higher theoretical math the CSO succeeds in breaking the code
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: hoping he does not trigger a tamper alarm.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nervously looks around, but gets in as soon as the door is opened::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Follows the CTO in and looks around::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Inside the area there is a portal it appears to be linked to the home world of Nexus
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Tries to put some of the opened pieces back so that the door remains open but the lock looks untampered when viewed far away::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
All: How the hell do you blow something like this up?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
XO: If they're drawing in power from there, there must be a way to overload something somehow..
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: From the other side of the portal there is an energy beam which is coming through the portal and powering a very large capacitor which is distributing the power
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
XO: I am not sure you do.  We need to sever the connection.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::looks around for any control panels::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
XO: Or cause massive damage to local subspace structure. But that might be excessive.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Points:: CSO: What about that?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: There are what appear to be scientists working near a bank of computers
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Goes to take a closer look at the beam::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Signals the others to be quiet as he notices the civilians::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Raises the phaser rifle and slowly moves towards the scientists::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Staying close to the CTO, but not too close to hinder him, she watches.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Takes aim and approaches with the XO::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Gives the CTO a thumbs up::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action :  The Scientists don’t see the party and are busy working on their machine
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Starts shooting the scientists at maximum stun::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Sets his rifle to stun and fires::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::While looking at the beam gets surprised by the fire and takes cover::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Shakes her head and makes sure she and the beast are clear.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The team successfully stuns the civilian scientists who drop and leave padds keys and id cards
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CSO: Get up to that computer and figure out whats going on
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CTO and the XO's phaser rifle cartridges are drained and they automatically eject
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Quietly makes her way to the group and picks up a few padds.::  CSO: Does this have anything to do with that entrance?
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Makes his way back to his feet::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Takes a new cartrigde out of his backpack and slides it in::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
All: This beam powers the entire base.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Takes a closer look at the energy guard's weapon::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
All: The portal is a doorway to the Nexian home world.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
*Energy_Cop* Where are you hiding?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CSO: Then if we disrupt or destroy this console, it will close it?  But what would prevent them from recreating it?
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CIV: We can operate the portal using the computers here.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Controlling it might be more useful than destroying it.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
XO: They test their bombs here and put their dangerous stuff in here.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Thumbs one of the padds::  CTO: In what way?
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CSO: Shut it down and scramble the computer so they can't open it again, we'll deal with this properly later
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
XO: This is somewhat equivalent to the former nuclear test areas in earth with the added capability of teleporting the bombs.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Lets be ready to get out of here quickly when the power dies
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
XO: they seem to have earth and moon as preprogrammed targets.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Destroying the portal just cuts them of power. Controlling it might give us ways to cause even more damage.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Picks up the ID cards and stuffs them in his pocket
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: Or resupply at the very least.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
XO: Aye, I'll try to shut the power down.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: But well, we probably don't have that much time to study those options..
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CSO is able to operate the computer
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
XO: If what he says is true, stopping it is not enough... unless you do not want a world to return to.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Finding a way to shut down the beam::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: If we scramble the computer they won't be able to use it and we can deal with it later
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CSO shuts down the beam and the base goes dark
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Hides a photon grenade under the computer console and capacitor::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Back to the forest now!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Many guards are now rushing to the power plant to investigate
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Starts running out, hoping to stay covered by the dark::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Runs out the door and heads towards the forest::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Sees to it that the others run out first::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Runs out like mad::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Follows with the others, questioning this decision.  What they could stop, another could restart.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The guards are running towards the building and see the party exit the building they begin to fire
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Drops to his knee and returns fire:: All: Move now!
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CTO: Covering fire!
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Drops and starts firing::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Weaving, keeps low as she seeks covering.::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Just keeps running as fast as he can::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The crew are in a open position and vulnerable they are between the forest and the power plant building
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Throws a photon grenade at the guards:: CTO: Move!
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Runs to another corner of the building, looking at the situation::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Moves back against the wall while still firing::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Some of the party make it to the forest and the XO and the CTO are on the side of the building
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CSO/CIV* Move into cover 20 m ahead, flank the guards
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Stumbling, she feels a push to stay on her feet and barely notes it is the energy beast.::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Throws another photon grenade and then ducks behind a wall::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Hears something from his comm badge::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Sees that some made it to safety and tries taking cover inside the building::
