Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Federation Vice" 10712.09
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: We now return to our elite squad on the planet surface
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The team has successfully secured the two bombs and are hiding in the forest
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Breathing heavily after running so fast::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The base remains dark
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Looks back at the base::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The guards are still attempting to locate the team and are searching the various buildiongs in the compounds for the team
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: We got all the bombs right here and they are all disarmed.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: It appears that the scientists in the portal building are attempting to restore power
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Keeps an eye on the surrounding area, keeping phaser at  the ready.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CSO: Good.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: It looks like we're safe here for the moment.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Modest power appears to be restored as lights begin to flicker
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CTO: What do we do now?
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: The only safe way to get rid of these bombs is to transport them through the portal.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
TO: The plan was to transport the bombs somewhere far from everything and detonate them there.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CSO: Now that we have the bombs, do you think the plan still feasible?
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: From a technical point of view, there are no major obstacles.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: It's all about security now.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CTO: I mean about  the lights 'round the compound. They seem to be repairin' the power grid faster than we anticipated.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The sounds of slowly moving turbines can be heard as power starts to come back on line and machines start to awaken
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the CSO::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
TO: That's a good question. Hopefully there's still some disarray around that we can use.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: A large crunching sound can be heard as one of the death robots in the bomb building exits and sluggishly looks around
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: An option for escape would be to use the portal and send the ship a signal to leave without the away team.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: It seems like a better idea than to call the Andromeda to pick us up.
 
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: Sounds very risky either way.
Host Energy_Cop says:
::looking around::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CSO: True. But what are the other options?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CTOI/CSO: Isn't there a way to use the portal to get rid of the bombs at one place an' then set it up to transport us back to the Andromeda?
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: A slight breeze fills the night sky in the area blowing through the lush forest
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: Well, for one, sending Andromeda away is a large risk.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: Contacting them in the first place might give our position.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
<Anfrommeda=Andromeda>
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: Working undetected is our only viable way to have any security.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CSO: I was thinking of an omni directional beacon strong enough to reach the Andromeda.
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: It appears the beasts on the loading dock have all been put back in their cages from having been set free
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CSO: We don't have the equipment at hand, though, so we'd have to rely on what we find at the base.
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: There is a communication building in the compound
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: Anyway, the base's getting back to full operational status while we talk.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: I am not an expert in security so I don't want to be a part in making our current plan.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: I am just giving some facts for you to make a decision on.
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The communication building is very noticeable since its roof is full of antennae and satellite dishes
TO_Lt_Knight says:
All: Well we'd better do somethin' an' be quick about it.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
TO: All right. We'll see about using the portal once we get there.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: Now let's get moving. ::Starts walking towards the forest perimeter closest to the portal building::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: The team move to the forest tree line close to the portal building since power is still at a low ebb the electric fence is off
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Keeps at the rear, hoping that with all of the restored light the away team is still unnoticeable.::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The guard tower lights are still off
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Walking with the team::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The death robot is sluggishly walking around the base crushing random branches as it plods along
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Points at one of the windows of the building:: TO: I think our best way in is through there.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Notices the window.:: CTO: I concur.
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The window access ways are unguarded and since the base is slowly returning the active power there is still the cover of darkness
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: So let's just run to the window while the guard robot is elsewhere. If the window is a bad place to enter the building, we'll try climbing to the roof and entering there.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CTO: Do you want me to check if anyone inside is by the window?
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The death robot turns its back on the party and begins to wander off
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the TO:: TO: That might be good.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Manages to get up to the window to look inside.::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: The TO looks inside the window
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Waits with the others a small distance away::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: Inside the window the TO notices that the portal is open a tiny bit and there is a weak power stream coming in
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: There are scientists working on the   controls
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The team will have to break the window to gain access or somehow remove it
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: there is a thin wire connected to the window
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: Next to the window there is a pile of crates which will provide cover on the inside
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Sneaks closer to the TO:: TO: Well?
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Just following the rest, rather scared to do anything::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CTO: Well, there are crates that would cover our entrance, but the window is wired. We'd have to remove or break it, and I figure we'd draw attention attempting either.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
TO: The window is a bit risky, then. Let's go for the roof.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CTO: I concur.
Host Energy_Cop says:
Inventory: Each team member has one grappling hook and 20 feet of rope
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: We're entering through the roof.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Throws his hook to the roof and starts climbing::
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Throws his hook as well, hoping that everything goes ok::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Tosses the hook and secures the rope to himself,  as he would when rock climbing.::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: The Tactical Officers successfully latch their hooks and the CSO and the team makes it to the roof without incident although it takes the CSO 3 tries to get his hook in
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Gets to the roof and starts helping the others up, then looks for the roof entrance::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: There is door way leading from the roof inside
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: Remind me to take you rock climbin' on the holodeck. I think you could use some practice.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Not minding what the TO says::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Checks the door for locks or wires.::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: The TO wisely checks for traps and discovers a trap
Host Energy_Cop says:
Action: The TO successfully disarms a trap
TO_Lt_Knight says:
All: The door's unsecured.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Opens the door watching his crewmates inside::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Enters::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: There is a wooden stairway leading down, the roof is rarely used
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
::Enters the door, keeping his hands on his phaser::
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: From the stairway the team can see the scientists working
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Follows inside and shuts the door silently behind him.
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The stairway leads to a little used storage closet
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
TO: There's no way to stay undetected and use the portal at the same time.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
<edit :: at end of last line>
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The guards are on the outside there are no guards on the inside
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: What if we try to go through the portal and return to Andromeda with the bombs?
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: There are four scientists in the portal room
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: We can then use Andromeda to carry the bombs away.
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: There was one exit on the planet moon.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CTO: We need a diversion of some sort. Get them out long enough for the Ensign here to get at the controls.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CSO: Do you know how to operate the portal? You'd better learn fast.
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: The CSO can operate the controls and may be able to modify the portal to open at different locations
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: I saw the system and I believe I can operate it.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: Any thoughts on a distraction to get them out?
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
CTO: I believe I also have a hunch on the way they use coordinates so I might even be able to program different exits.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the CSO:: CSO: Fine. That sounds better than the options discussed earlier.
Host Energy_Cop says:
Scene: On the floor of the portal room is a starchart of this area of the galaxy
CSO_Ens_Bogbinder says:
TO: If you were to able generate something that would resemble serious device malfunction, that might drive them away. Like a fake gas leak or something like that.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Turns to the energy cop:: Energy Cop: Any ideas on the gas leak equivalent?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Hears the CSO's wrods and looks around the immediate area for something to sabotage.::
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: Hm interesting, perhaps rupturing a coolant line to the communication array
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Energy Cop: How serious is that in actuality? We need some time to finish our business here.
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: There are many things in this room to sabotage but they are required for the portal
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: It could destroy the entire Communications building, lets see the bomb making factory is full of weapons conventional of course like grenades and bombs and such
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: Destroying the factory now that we have the Omega bombs should prove easy and destructive
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: We could stun the scientists here
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Energy Cop: Well, we need to work with what's at hand pretty much right here.
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: If each of us takes one scientist that would do it
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: Scientists do not have as much endurance as guards
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Energy Cop: But that'd still require weapons fire.
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: Yes that’s true
Host Energy_Cop says:
CTO: We could cause something to go wrong and maybe draw one of them at a time like a loose wire
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CTO: Maybe we can scare them outta here.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
TO: That's the idea. Energy Cop, TO: Implement it.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Energy Cop: Rupturing coolant line sounded good, if it's going to make things too hot in here. But anything that gets the scientists out without being too obvious is fine.
 Host Energy_Cop says:
