Resume USS Andromeda "Counter Espionage" 10904.19
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The landing party has emerged safely on the other side of the river
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The landing party has arrived on the edge of the forest
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::kneels at the edge of the tree line, scanning the area::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@CMO/CNS: Great walkabout, bad scenery.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Leaving the river, chilled from its waters and her now damp clothes, she makes her way to the edge of the forest.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Using the tree for cover, she thumbs her tricorder on and does a general scan of the vicinity.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::glances at the TO:: TO: Have a nice swim?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: quietly::  TO:  You were quick. Any new updates from the ship?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  I think I can handle things up here on the Andromeda. Why don't you see if you can somehow transport down with the AT.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the CO:: CO: I'll see if relay through the shuttle
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aaron:  Aaron, feel like joining the XO to provide more manpower?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Tricorders detect the camp surface is lightly guarded,  there seems to be a communications building, a warehouse and a bunch of slaves mulling around
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@ CNS: Like swimmin' in the pond near me mate Dex's house. CMO: I  think the Cap'n wants to send down another member for our party. The Ionization could have lightened up a bit by now, or they found a way through the interference.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Most of the area is filled with heavy earth moving machinery which is designed to excavate
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: quietly::  CNS/TO:  Area in general is quiet.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron> CO:  More than happy to oblige! ::stands up::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Looks at Knight::  TO:  Who?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::waits to hear who's coming along::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Conor, I'm sure you can use the extra manpower...just go easy on the kid, will ya?  ::laughs::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The distance to the buildings is 100 yards from the treeline
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: We'll see
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron>  ::gives his brother a glaring look::  ~~~CO:  I'll give you go easy on him!~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: glances around the tree::  CNS/TO:  Looks like they are bringing up crates from somewhere underground.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@CMO: I think the XO more than likely. He didn't specify when I talked to him, didn't want the enemy in on our chatter.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Aaron: Meet me in TR1 if you are coming along
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@CNS: Either we've slipped in unnoticed and their going 'bout like business as usual, or they wan us to keep our guard down.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron>  XO:  Aye sir.  ::heads to the TL::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CMO: That explains the activity. Think we can take a look in one of those crates before we try and go down the stairs?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::heads off to TR1::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CO:  Oh, and Aaron....try not to get yourself into trouble down there!  ::grins::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: raises an eyebrow as the TO:: ~~~~ CO:  We are about ready to go in.  Change of plans?~~~~
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron>  ~~~CO:  Humor was definitely never your strong point, brother of mine!~~~  ::disappears into the TL::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO:  Conor and Aaron will be joining your team shortly.  Hold position until they get there.~~~
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::arrives in TR1 and opens the weapon lockers::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Since the tree line is 100 yards to the perimeter of the camp, it will take some doing to get there undetected
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ CNS/TO:  We need to hold position.  Lieutenant Connors and Knight will be joining us.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::glances over at Sky:: CMO: Aaron is coming?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Looks at Othello::  TO:  The captains brother.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Puts on a backpack and takes phaser rifle, pistol, several grenades, and some other tools::
Host Aaron_ says:
::arrives in TR1::  XO:  Reporting in and ready for some action!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Aaron: ok, grab some weapons and standby
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ CNS:  So it would appear.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@CMO: I don't have any relatives named Aaron, so that had to be one o' yours. I didn't even know he was a member of the crew. Guess I should go to more "meet 'n' greets".
Host Aaron_ says:
::starts grabbing as many weapons as he could possibly hold::  XO:  Aye!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Shuttlecraft is prepared to relay the transporter signal
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Sets up a relay link through the shuttle on the ground:: Aaron: Ready to go?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ TO:  Aaron is not an official member of the crew... only an officially interesting person.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::snickers::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Stands on the transporter pad:: Computer: Energize
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Raises an eyebrow at Varesh::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Transporter_Chief_Molecules>: Whoooooo----------Hoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CMO: Don't forget, I served on the Nighthawk with Aaron for a long time... interesting is definitely a good descriptor.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO arrives on the planet upside down about 1 foot in the air with one phaser and a bunch of badly mangled weapons
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::curses::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Aaron materializes sideways with one phaser
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::rolls into cover and does a count of the equipment that is still working::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow at the two arrivals:: CMO: Remind me NEVER to beam anywhere off the ship.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Looks puzzled:: CMO: Officially interestin'? I gotta meet this bloke..
Host Aaron_ says:
::looks around and laughs::  XO:  At least we're still in one piece!
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
Aaron:  Shhh... :: goes to assist her brother in law.::
Host Aaron_ says:
CMO:  Wanna help me out here Sierra?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::shakes his head and peers out over the field again:: All: We have to cross that.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
Aaron:  Your brother really loves you.  :: finishes helping him up.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::throws away all the other broken equipment other then his phaser rifle::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: quietly:: TO:  Lieutenant Knight, may I introduce you to Aaron Knight.
Host Aaron_ says:
::gets up and dusts himself off::  CMO:  Thanks sis!  ::draws his weapon::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: turns toward Conner::  XO:  Are you alright?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins over at Aaron:: ~~~Aaron: Quite an entrance.~~~
Host Aaron_ says:
::looks the TO up and down::  TO:  Gotta love a guy with a name like that!  Good to meet you.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::still annoyed:: CMO: I've been better
Host Aaron_ says:
~~~CNS:  You know I love to make an entrance!~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: Don't I just know it.~~~
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Sit rep?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Smiles:: Aaron: Good to meet another Knight, relative or not. :: Shakes his hand.::
Host Aaron_ says:
::grasps the TO's hand firmly::  TO:  Likewise.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  If you need assistance, let me know.  Our goal is that underground entrance.  The area around it is quiet.  There are slaves bringing up crates.  :: Looks him up and down, noting the no longer pristine look::  At least you now look more the part of a slave.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The team is at the treeline, there are slaves bringing up crates from below and loading a warehouse
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There is a communication shed here
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
XO: Everything seems quiet. I don't think they know we're here,  I'd suggest we remain vigilant. It may be a ruse.
Host Aaron_ says:
All:  So uh, who we shooting at first?  ::grins::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::points to the warehouse:: All: I say we should try and get in there and see what's in the crates.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Off in the far distance there is a Doomsday Machine being constructed and finalized for launch it dominates the distant skyline
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Takes out binoculars and scans the area::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: leaves Ethan's brother to the first officer.::  XO:  I need to get below surface or at least to wherever they are taking those crates.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are a handful of robots here on the surface acting as guards, it is impossible to scan beneath the surface
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: Any booby-traps etc in the area?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action:  Smoke in far distance after a successful port impulse engine test
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  I did not scan any.  :: moves back to the treeline.  Seeing the smoke she scans in that area::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
All: Our best bet is to sneak over to where the slaves are working, blend in with them and find a way into the dig as we pretend to be slaves ourselves.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The crates are being brought from the excavation site and placed in the surface warehouse
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
All: I am uncertain about the smoke, but an impulse engine was activated.
Host Aaron_ says:
TO:  I like that plan!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
All: What about that hut with the antennas?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The slaves continue to mull about
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Something registering from the scans she pauses.::  All:  We have another problem.  I am reading the energy signature of the doomsday device... same area as the impulse signature.  They could be one and the same.
Host Aaron_ says:
::keeps himself hidden, but scans the area with his eyes....waiting to see if there is an opportunity to blend in the slaves::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Some of the slaves are allowed to have lunch by the treeline and break into a circle near the group
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  I would suggest we divide up.  If nothing else, if one group is caught, there will be another free... as well as being able to cover more ground.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sees the group and smiles:: All: Shall we make some friends and wander back with them?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: It is 12 noon, planet time
Host Aaron_ says:
::whispers::  XO:  Sir, permission to infiltrate the slaves if given the opportunity.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: You take Aaron and the CNS. Try blend in with the slaves
Host Aaron_ says:
Self:  Yes!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
XO: CMO and TO with me. We'll try doing more details recon of the base
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Eyes Aaron with a teasing look in her eyes if seriousness in her voice::  Aaron:  No shooting anyone.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
<delete second CMO>
Host Aaron_ says:
::whispers::  CMO:  Then why go?  ::grins::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
All: If anything goes wrong I'll get it in the neck. Just remember this stuff flows downhill.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: One of the slaves, near the away team produces a very small device, looks at it stealthily and places it back in his clothes muttering "damn"::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::spots the slave peering at something:: CMO/Aaron: Shall we go and make friends?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Gets his gear together and tries to dishevel his appearance a little more.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I will leave the friendship making to the pair of you.  I will... watch.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Aaron: Think they will smuggle us in or raise alarm?
Host Aaron_ says:
::holds up his hand to the CNS and CMO::  CNS/CMO:  Not yet......just give it a minute.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Waits, watching Aaron::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: In your own time move out. Myself and the TO will move out now to the comm bunker
Host Aaron_ says:
CNS/CMO:  Okay, this is as good a time as any to move in!  ::heads to where the slaves are::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: One of the slaves looks around, ::produces an old-style type 2 phaser, narrows his eyes, then thinks better of it and puts it back::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::waits and glances over at Aaron and moves when he does::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: Its good to be working together again.~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods to the XO as she follows Aaron::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
$TO: You're with me. I'll run 50 yards and then cover you, you run the distance, cover me etc
Host Aaron_ says:
@::looks over at Varesh and winks::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::grins and lets Aaron make the conversation, he was better at it::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
$::Sets up to cover the XO.:: XO: Aye. Ready.
Host Aaron_ says:
::moves to the side of one of the slaves and puts his finger up against his mouth in a shhhh motion::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
$::starts the run and once reaching the 50 ft mark, drops to one knee and signals to the TO::
Host Peter_Wake says:
Action: The slave turns and places a Type 2 old phaser in Aaron's stomach so no one will see
Host Peter_Wake says:
Aaron: Talk quickly stranger
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
$::Follows suit ad dashes the 50 yds.::
Host Peter_Wake says:
::smiles so no one sees a commotion::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
$::runs the next 50 and again provides cover::
Host Aaron_ says:
@::whispers::  Peter:  If I were you, I'd take that out of my stomach.  We're here to help get you out of here.  However, the choice is yours.
Host Peter_Wake says:
Action: The XO makes it to the shed undetected
Host Peter_Wake says:
@Aaron: I have the weapon I'll ask the questions ::smiles:: Who are you
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
$::Repeats the XO's move.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::Kneels next to Aaron, glancing at the weapon and then at the slave::
Host Peter_Wake says:
Scene: The "slave" is up close well-nourished and fairly well aware for someone who has been at hard labor
Host Aaron_ says:
@Peter:  My name is Aaron.  We are Starfleet personnel who have come to destroy these doomsday devices and free you from bondage.  ::looks at Varesh with a reassuring look::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Watches, saying nothing, letting Aaron work this out as she visually scans the area.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
$::does a scan of the bunker::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~Aaron: That weapon is about 100 years old and a type II to boot - he's bluffing with it.~~~
Host Peter_Wake says:
::taken somewhat aback:: Aaron: Prove it
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: Though it does look in good shape.~~~
Host Aaron_ says:
@~~~CNS:  Can you guarantee that it will not work?~~~
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
$XO: ::whispers:: So far, so good. ::Looks around the corner of his cover to check for any resistance.::
Host Aaron_ says:
@Peter:  What would you like me to do.....pull out an ID?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~Aaron: Probably not. I wouldn't risk your hide.~~~
Host Aaron_ says:
@~~~CNS:  And I thank you for that!~~~
Host Peter_Wake says:
Aaron: Where is your base of operations and who is your commanding officer?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
$TO: See anyone?
Host Aaron_ says:
@Peter:  Let's see, we're assigned to the Starship USS Andromeda and the commanding officer is Captain Ethan Knight.  Look, we can debate this all day, but you have to trust me.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Keeping a close eye on the surroundings, especially the other slaves nearby.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
$::Looks as best he can without giving himself away.:: XO: No. Clear for now.
Host Peter_Wake says:
::puts his weapon away::
Host Aaron_ says:
@Peter:  Thank you.  That wasn't so bad now, was it?
Host Peter_Wake says:
