Summary – The Spring celebration on Risa begins and as the main welcoming center clears the crews are split up and escorted to a conference room.  They are briefed by Admiral Garrison and Admiral Kemati.  The meeting spells out doom for the Federation if prophecies handed down by the Bajoran Prophets are not stopped.  As the meeting concludes explosions begin throughout the area.  As crews scramble for safety Admiral Kemati is killed by debris from an explosion just outside the conference room.  The Admirals are beamed aboard the USS Cherokee and taken to sickbay for treatment.  The remaining crews are beamed aboard and sensors pickup two Vroa in the main square.  The Cherokee fire phasers from orbit vaporizing the Vroa threat.
Time Lapse – 1 Hours to 30 days – Depending on ship SM needs to position their vessel.

ACTD Wide - Their Final Hour – Part 2

Summary:  The celebrations on Riza have started.  Street fairs extend from the main banquet hall in all directions.  Music begins to play from street performers.  The large main doors open and the citizens welcome the Starfleet Officers with open arms.  As the crown dies down and moves out into the street fair only the Command Staff of each vessel remain.

Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks around to the bar waiting.::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Nods to security to open the main doors.::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
Adm Kemati:  Shall we?
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Stands beside Garrison, her expression otherwise neutral::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
Garrison: Yes. Let's get this over with.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
::Sitting at a table, glancing over PADD, making sure I'm ready for whatever is coming in this meeting.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Feels terribly out of his league, hanging with all the Starfleet hotshots.  Stays close to Captain Ayidee::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Moves quietly over to the bar and orders herself a drink::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Walks into the main room looking at all the officers.::  All:  Your attention please.  Would Beta group please follow us and prepare for security screening.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Trying aimlessly to mingle around::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns to the Admirals.::
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Finishes his water then turns to hear the Admirals.::
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sitting at her assigned place at the table for the Cherokee, drinking an unsweetened iced tea no lemon::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::stands close by the Andy CEO not wanting to get caught between many pips::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO Ayidee: Sure are a lot of people here, huh, Sir?
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  The Alpha group begins to leave the main room following Admiral Harlan into a corridor to the east.
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Looks up as Beta group is called and quickly drinks her drink down::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Cherokee Crew: Let's get on with it then.
C_CNS: Aye, a bit too many for comfort.  This much brass either means a ship christening or something bad.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Starts heading in the direction of the Admirals::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  Security details line the corridors.  They begin scanning Officers before letting them into the conference room.
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she drinks the reminder of her tea, sets the glass on the table and follows the others::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Walks to the security screening area, and waits for the officers to pass through.
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Walks over to the rest of the Cherokee crew.::
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Falls in line with the rest of the officers.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Follows with his crew::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
::Follows through the security corridor.::  CNS: I think Christening isn't the option today.
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::lines up for the security checks::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Follows the officers seeming to form one line.::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Waits inside the door to greet officers as the enter.::
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::wanders in maybe a person or two behind McQuade, which is troubling, as every time he's around McQuade........::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: Are they screening for anything in particular?
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION: Once passed security the large conference room is filled with rows of chairs and tables.  The main view screen on the far wall has the Federation emblem displayed.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CO: It seems a shame, on Risa and we're all stuck inside at a... whatever this is.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Nods to the officers as they come into the room.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CTO: I have no idea.  I haven't got anything.  Do you.  Did you leave your sharp toys back on the ship?
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
Ch CO: I've not seen a gathering like this in a long time, sir....::Frowns and looks a little nervous::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Ch CTO/ CNS: I think we're in for a high level briefing.  Security is to make sure no one sneaks in with dangerous contraband.::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks into the room after passing security.::  Adm Garrison:  A pleasure to see you again sir.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: yes, and I kind of feel naked without them.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
Clay_CO: Welcome Captain T'Shara.  Good to have the Claymore here today.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Garrison: Admiral.  I don't believe we've met before.  Captain Ayidee, of the Cherokee.
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
Adm Garrison:  Good to be here sir.  ::Moves on and finds a seat.::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Passes through security herself and heads inside, waiting by the entry doors for the final officers to be processed::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
Cherokee_CO: Captain Ayidee.  I've heard good things about you and your crew.  Good to have you here.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CTO: Maybe we can find you a butter knife to play with, to ease the loneliness.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Looks around the room as he enters noting the exits::
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::passing through security, she falls in next to her Captain.::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::passes through security and looks to take a seat in the back somewhere::
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Moves through security and finds a seat.::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes a seat near the front of the room.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Nods politely at the Admiral as he passes, following CO Ayidee into the room::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Keeps quiet and to herself through this.::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Nods back to Ensign Daniels.::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Follows CNS Daniels after acknowledging the Admiral::
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::takes a seat next to McQuade, not so overjoyed to be sitting in yet another briefing::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Garrison: It's an honor, although I'm guessing we'll soon learn "a pleasure" may be the wrong description.  Security like this isn't used for most happy occasions.
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Nods to Commander Davis.::  SOPS: Hopefully there will not be asteroids flying at us today sir.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: You mean, you hope it's not Monday, Lieutenant?
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Smiles.::  Cherokee_CO:  I wish there was better news Captain Ayidee.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Looks outside, and finds everyone has made it through security. Nods at the guards to close the doors::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Cherokee_CNS: Looks like something big is about to happen.
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
SOPS:  Point taken sir.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks around:: Ch CTO: It doesn't look like this is the entertainment part of the program.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Let's hope it goes well.  ::Sees doors closing and finds seat with crew.::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  The large security doors close and lock into place.  ::The sound echoes through the room.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Walks down the center of the room to the front.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sits between Ayidee and Q'ten::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::looks around to see where the sound is coming from::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Cherokee_CNS: If it is then my review of Risa is not going to go well.
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Looks back as the door locks sound.::
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
SOPS: That doesn't sound good.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Moves down the aisle and joins Garrison at the front::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Worries a little wondering why they would be locked inside.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CTO: It's my first to Risa.  I thought there would be more showgirls.
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Sits with the rest of Cherokee crew and stares at the screen, waiting.::
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::the click sounds loudly in his head, and he peers back across the room before looking at McQuade again::  CEO: If this lasts longer than 30 minutes, prepare for a hasty withdrawal.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Stands in front of the group tapping the main view screen controls.::  All:  Welcome to Risa.  I thank you for coming today.  As you know the celebration was an important part of us being here.  However Starfleet wanted a face to face meeting.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Looks over the occupants of the meeting::
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Nods.  Then turns to hear the Admiral.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Listens, intently, to the guy speaking::
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::quickly sits down to listen::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Cherokee_CNS: This must be some shindig.  It's drawn all the finest folks
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All: We have a situation on the horizon.  It’s a situation that will determine the fate of not only the Federation, but Starfleet itself.
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Frowns and crosses her arms and legs::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Turns to Admiral Kemati.::  All:  This is Admiral Kemati with Starfleet Intel.  I will turn the floor over to her.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Nods:: Garrison: Admiral.   ::Stands to the fore of the room, and taps a control to bring up data on the main view screen::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CTO: Another Admiral, this does seem 'big'.
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Shifts a little not liking any of this.::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Moves around the table and takes a seat.::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
All: Several years ago the Bajoran turned over data to Starfleet Intelligence on a Bajoran prophet who claimed to have received a number of prophecies directly pertaining to the Federation.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Ch_CNS: Like I said... all the finest folks
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
::Steps out from behind a wall partition in the back of the room and stands by the back door everyone came through and oversees the meeting::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Pauses, for timing:: All: Yes, prophecies.  ::Remains deadly serious:: Very detailed prophecies that, in the six years since then, have come 100% true.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Now they have his attention::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
All: With the exception of a few final prophecies that are presumable next to be fulfilled.   ::Taps a button on the view screen::
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Listens as the Admiral addresses the room.::  Self:  I enjoy Bajor.  I may well have to retire there.
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
::Walks along the side of the room along the edge of the wall away from the door toward the middle just watching::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
All: Prophecies that foretell the collapse and destruction of the Federation from within. According to this data, if the course of history is not changed, the Federation will see its final days within 5 years.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Watches and listens::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
All: Each Captain will receive a copy of all prophecies that Intel has determined relevant to that vessel.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
All: This is THE top priority for all vessels at this time. To minimize attention to our location, each vessel will receive a staggered departure window sometime within the next 24-48 hours.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Looks over some notes on his PADD.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CTO: Dang, we get to Risa and we aren't staying.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Takes a breath:: All: Any questions?
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Ch_CNS: 5 years doesn't work for me.  I have plans and I'll need a lot longer than 5 years to accomplish them.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Looks up at the officers.::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Blinks and thinks, "Is that it...?"::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Adm_Kemati: Have any attempts been made to contact the Bajoran Prophets to see if they could shed any light on these prophecies?  I understand they are difficult to communicate with, but still.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Raises his hand::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
Cherokee_CO: Indeed, since Intel realized the prophecies were coming true, we've made attempts to contact the Bajoran Prophet.   ::Looks to Garrison for more details::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CO: I hear you.  I just started my career.  I haven't even had my first crisis yet or gotten Pepper to see my bedroom.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, knowing now that they've reached the point of insanity, when "prophecies" serve as a synonym for "intelligence," which was already a questionable concept::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Stands.::  Cherokee_CO: Starfleet Intel has a team working with the Bajoran religious leaders.   We also have a team looking for the person who turned the prophecies over to us.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
Cherokee_CTO: Yes, Ensign?
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
ADM_Kemati: Excuse me Admiral. You said the Federation would collapse from within.  Does that mean there are Traitors suspected?
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ADM Kemati: Please continue.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
All: We don't have definitive data at this time.  Orders from Starfleet are to avert fulfilling your vessel's prophecy at all costs.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
All: Any other questions?
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
Cherokee_CTO: The prophecies are very specific.  They seem to point to destabilizing the Federation and its people.  If this occurs our analysts have put a 95% chance that the Federation will collapse and not be recoverable.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CO: So, they want us to change something that hasn't happened yet but, prophets say will happen.  Is that right, Sir?
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Cher_CNS: It sounds like that.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Kemati. Garrison: How closely related to each other are these prophecies, outside of the fact they all came to Starfleet together?
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Ch_CO: How do we know if we're changing correctly?
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CO: Well, I'm good at screwing up stuff that's 'supposed' to happen so, however I can help, you just need ask.
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Looks to Garrison to field the Cherokee CO's question::
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
::smiling as he hears the questions from the Cherokee crew, knowing what he hears about them is true::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Mumbles:: Self: If we're able to change the outcome, it's not a very good prophecy is it. Sorta defeats the purpose of "fate is coming"
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
Cherokee_CO: They are all vessel specific.  Each vessel has a good number of prophecies tied to it.   All prophecies have come true except one for each of our ships.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Ch_CO: What if it's our reaction to these prophecies that are making them come true?
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
Cherokee_CO: They are all different for those vessels.  Each seeming to point to a different event within the Federation.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Ch_CTO: We'll have to figure that out as we go along.
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands.:: Adm Garrison: How do we know that these things are not to happen?   Could someone be using this to gain control of our actions?
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CMO: Yes, but, if it's already predicted, who’s to say we didn't try to alter the future in the past?
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Adm_Garrison: Understood.  So if one is prevented and the others are not, we may still continue towards this collapse?
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::stands:: Admiral_Garrison: Do we get to see an entire copy of all the prophecies? It seem wasteful to drag us all here and not show us them it their entirety.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Nods.::  Clay_CO: That is a good point Captain T'Shara.  Yes we have a concern about that as well, but the risk of not stopping these prophecies from coming true outweighs that.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Grabs his head in his hands:: All: I'm so confused
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::his attention is drawn to T'Shara's voice, and he smiles as he thinks the same thing he always thought about her:  "At least she knew how to get out of the Ready Room"::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Nods her agreement with Captain T'Shara::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
Andy_EO: Yes we will make all prophecies available to all vessels.  They should be accessible through the Starfleet secure ODN.
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods.:: Adm Garrison:  Thank you sir.  ::Takes a seat.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles at CTO's antics::  Ch CTO: It's okay, we'll figure it out.  If not, it was meant to be.
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::nods and sits down again::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Takes a breath:: All: If that's all, I will turn the proceedings back to Admiral Garrison.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Ch_CNS: It's making my head hurt.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All:  This is a priority matter for all ships involved.  We have very little time and not a lot of answers to give you.  Moving on to our next topic of concern.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Changes the main view screen.::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Stops herself from asking questions that will make her seem paranoid::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All:  This is the Vroa.  ::Points to the screen.::   2.24 meters tall and 117.93 kgs.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CTO: You want the Doctor to give you something?  I don't think you need to figure it all out today.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CTO: Look they're showing nice pictures now.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All:  Starfleet Intel has upgraded this species to the highest level of alertness.
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::smirks:: Self: Yeah alertness is going to stop them.
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
::looks to the screen and back to everyone gaging everyone’s reaction::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All: They pose an immediate threat to Starfleet and Federation security.  To date three Starfleet vessels have encountered the Vroa.  The USS Claymore, USS Seleya, and the USS Cataria.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All: The Vroa is responsible for the near destruction of Deep Space 3 and Deep Space 5.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Doesn't like the look of a Vroa::  Ch CTO: I dealt with the last alien, this one's yours.
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Doesn't look impressed::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Garrison: Two Deep space stations directly attacked, and nearly destroyed?  That might explain why they are now "High alert".
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All:  Only a few weeks ago a Vroa attack force was repelled from Star Base 514.  The USS Cataria and USS Claymore repelled the attack.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All:  All Starfleet vessels will be updated via secure ODN uplink as well as weekly intel reports on all ships movements and possible Vroa sightings.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
All:  We will ... ::Pauses.::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Looks to Garrison::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Ch_CNS: You get the butter sauce.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  A Massive explosion in the street fair shatters the windows in the conference room.   Screams from those at the fair can be heard.
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::dives to the floor::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Jumps right up and whips around::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Points to the Vroa on the screen. Whispers:: Ch CMO: There's your next patient, Doc.  Ensign Q'ten is going to put the Vroa into intensive care.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  Another explosion happens just outside the room  One of the security officers’ bloodied body flies through the wall.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Ducks down behind the table.::
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Hits the floor.::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
::Ducks from the shattered glass, then rises and looks towards the Windows, then the door.::  Self: Now might be a good time to be wielding a Phaser.
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::starts crawling towards the exit hoping to pick up a phaser along the way::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Moves out and runs to the Admirals.::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Lying on the carpeted floor now::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Taps his combadge as he dives to the floor:: COM: Q'ten to the Cherokee what's going on?
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::dives under the table::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Moves herself towards the door, ready to take action.::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
Vroa_Voice: The Federation Parasites will be removed from this galaxy.
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::takes the phaser from a body and looks around for where the voice is coming from::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  Another explosion can be heard from the street fair.
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
::Gets scrambled out by SF security::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Stays with his Captain.  Watching his back::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
::Stands moving closer to Admiral Kemati.::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Backs away from the exploding wall::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Ch_CO: Sir I recommend beaming back to the ship
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  The left wall explodes into the room showing the inside with debris.
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Picks up a few shards of something sharp and pointy::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::gets up on his feet and starts scrambling towards the rear exit::
Clay_CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Struck with debris as he covers Admiral Garrison.::
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
<CHER TO> *CHER CTO*  Sir, we just monitored several explosions in your area.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CO: We should get you out of here, Sir.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
::Flips table to provide cover from the explosions.::  Ch_CTO: Soon, have the ship lock onto the Admirals first and get them to safety.  Then get anyone out of here they can.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  Admiral Kemati is torn apart as a second explosion blows the wall containing the main view screen.
Clay_TO_LtJG_Kytides says:
::Curses under his breath at the whole wall going, scrambling to his feet finally and looking for Captain T'Shara::
Host Admiral_Kemati says:
::Splatters over anyone nearby::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
*Cher TO*: yes we're under attack.  Lock onto the Admirals signals and beam them up immediately!
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Sees the walls exploding in and watches for hostiles on their way in::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  The Admirals disappear in a blue swirl and materializes onboard the Cherokee.
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::pops his head around a corner looking to see if there are any hostiles outside::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Keeping his head low.  Using table for cover, too::
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
::gets up after being blown down by the last explosion::   Everyone: Ge…  ::Beamed out.::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Ch_CO: Sir, we HAVE to get back to the ship!
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ch CO: Maybe the ship could scan for more explosives and then, beam them away or something.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  Screams from the main room can be heard before the room itself explodes in a massive fireball.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Cher_CTO: Agreed, as much as I hate it, we can't do much here.
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
::attempts to unlock the previously sealed door::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
*Cher TO*: Cherokee, this is Q'ten! Beam us up!
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  A huge explosion from the other side of the fair shakes the building.   The low rumble of the Risa Capital building collapsing can be heard.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::scrambling on the deck, he finally frees his right hand and slaps at his comm badge::  *Andromeda*: Davis to Andromeda, lock on to Andromeda's life signs in this god damn meeting and beam us out...now!
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#<CHER TO>  *CTO*: I have the 2 admirals on board.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
Clay_CO: Captain T'Shara, I would suggest contacting your ship and beam up.  Unarmed we can't do much here.  Up there, maybe we can.
Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
::Pushes the debris off of himself and stands.::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
*Cher TO*: majqa!  Now get the rest of us!
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
*Ch_MO_Rhapsody*: Get Sickbay ready to receive injured. Explosions.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Wanting to leave::  Ch CTO: So, this is Risa, huh?  Frankly I don't get the hype.  Can we go now???
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The Andromeda and Claymore crew dematerialize, beamed up to the Claymore.
Host SMLea says:
@ACTION: Claymore and Andromeda crew materialize in Transporter Room 3.
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#<Cher TO>  *CTO* Yes sir, transporting now.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Cher_CNS: I'm working on it. I'm not even giving them one star
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
@::looks around to see who made it back::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#<MO Rhapsody> ::Quickly runs and gets all the Medics and Doctors ready::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
<Risa_ Security> COM: To all nearby Vessels:  This is Risa we are under attack by....   ::The comm signal goes dead.::
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::startled, his heart racing, his eyes dart around the transporter room they are in, and it looks oddly familiar, though not what he was expecting in all the panic, and confusion, and, well...splattering::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
@All: Should we not be heading back down there with weapons this time?
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#Action: The Cherokee crew is transported to TR 1.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#::Materializes on the Cherokee.::  *Bridge*: This is Ayidee, raise shields and identify the attacking vessels.  We'll be on the Bridge shortly.

#::Materializes and runs right out and heads to sickbay::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#All: To the Bridge.  First priority is to identify the attackers.  Then provide any possible assistance.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
#::As soon as he's solid again, he breaks for the exit running for the bridge::
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
#::materializes on the Cherokee and dashes out of Transporter Room 1 to head to the Bridge::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#::Rematerializes in Cherokee’s transporter room.  Looks to CO::  Ch CO: Are you okay, Sir?
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
<Cher TO>  # *CO* Yes sir.  ::raises shields::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#<MO Rhapsody> ::Gets Adm Garrison onto a biobed and starts the prelim scans::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#::Follows others to the bridge but, isn't sure why::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves quickly to the Bridge.::  CNS: I'm fine, Ensign.  Not touched.  But we have an active threat outside.  Time to make it hurt to be Vroa.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION: On the planet one of the larger resorts explodes.
Host SMLea says:
@<Clay_TC>::Slaps the comm control upon seeing T'Shara's beaten body on the transporter pad:: *Medical*: Transporter Room 3 to Sickbay, site-to-site transporting Captain T'Shara right now!
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
#::as she is running to the Bridge, worries about her property on Risa.::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  Two Vroa de-cloak in the main square.  They both walk slowly slaughtering anything in their path.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#Ch CO: Aye, Sir. I agree.  I hate party crashers.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Takes over the Tac station from the TO:: TO: Arm all weapons! Whose attacking?
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:

Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
#::she arrives on the Bridges and quickly takes over OPS::
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
ACTION:  The main conference room building explodes.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#::Enters bridge from turbolift.  Goes and parks it in his chair, mostly to get out of everybody’s way::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#CNS: Agreed, but can't do that while the attack progresses, at least not until we can provide some cover to the rescue teams.  ::Exits Turbolift.::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
@::sets his phaser rifle to kill:: Clay_TC: Transport
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#::looks around in sickbay at eh injured::  MO:  I’ll be on the bridge.    Garrison:  You need to remain here till it's clear for you to return to your ship.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
@CTO: Identify any attacking vessels you can, permission to return fire is granted.  
aFCO: Helm, get us moving.  Evasive pattern A-7 until we identify attacking pattern.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#Ch CO; Aye, Sir.  :Decides, the best thing he can do is shut and stand by for orders.  Realizes, here's his first crisis.  Monitors activity on his console::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#::Rushes into sickbay and goes directly to work. Taking out her tricorder she quickly is going over Garrison.::
Host SMLea says:
@<Clay_TC>::Initializes the transport of T'Shara to Sickbay, then looks questioning from the Andromeda EO to Davis and Kytides::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
@All: Come on people! They are down there slaughtering people right now, are we just going to stand around and let it happen?
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Ch_CNS: See if you can get any idea what's happening on the planet.  Space battles rarely take more than a few minutes, so it's time to start preparing.
Host Admiral_Garrison says:
<Starfleet_Command>  COM: To all Vessels: This is a priority one message from Starfleet Command.  All vessels in the Risa system shall depart immediately.  We repeat all Starfleet Vessels in the Risa are shall depart immediately.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#Ch CO: Aye, Sir.
Admiral_Garrison is now known as SMDrew.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::pauses for a moment to think, not wanting them added to the list of slaughtered-ees due to beaming into an unknown situation, but with the collateral damage on the surface::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#::Begins monitoring all life signs in the battle area::
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::looks at Kytides::  TO: Grab a weapon, Lieutenant.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:

Andy_CEO_LtJg_McQuade says:
@::Moves through the Claymore heading to Engineering to see if he can help with anything.::
Host SMLea says:
@ACTION: T'Shara is beamed into sickbay.
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
#ALL:  We are ordered to immediately leave Risa.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#Ch CO: We can't go now.  There are people hurt down there.  Shouldn't we help?
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#::Moving around to see any sort of injury:: MO: Give him a dose of Vertazine.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#OPS: Lock onto any life signs on the surface you can and beam them out.  I don't care who, just grab as many as you can.
aFCO: Helm, break orbit and lay in a course out of the system.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::hears of the announcement as he heads to the weapons locker and pauses; he would say he's wondering what the hell is going on, but that process started at least 15 minutes ago::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
@::looks up at the message:: Self: Really?
Host SMLea says:
@<Clay_MO_Jennings>::Rushes out of the back room and sees two Admirals, who have seen better days, and Captain T'Shara, materializing unconscious. Rushes to T'Shara's side::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The Vroa continues their walk through the square leaving a blood trail in their wake.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#CNS: We have orders.  Someone is seeing something we can't see yet, and what they see is not good.
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#<MO Rhapsody> ::Nods and does as she's told::
Cherokee_OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
#CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::she locks onto whomever she can and beams them to the Cherokee.::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
<aFCO> ::Begins to break orbit and plots a course out of the system.::
Host SMLea says:
@<Clay_MO_Jennings>::Presses a stabilant to T'Shara's neck and has her put on a gurney to move to surgery immediately:: Merriweather: Watch that debris!
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Sensors indicate 5200 wounded and 120 dead on the planet surface.  Those numbers continue to rise.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::sighs::  ALL: Well, can't do anything from here if we're leaving.  ::moves towards the exit, intending to head to the Bridge to see just what the hell is going on::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
#CO: Sir, sensors have two Vroa in the main square.  they're killing everyone they come across. Permission to take a team down and stop them sir.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#Ch CO: Sir, my new junior CNS is experienced with things like this.  I could send her to take charge of the refugees we're beaming aboard, if you like.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#CNS: For the record, I don't like it either.  We grab who we can and help them.  ::Clenches jaw, fighting to stay focused.::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#MO: Showered with some pretty heavy debris. He's pretty cut up. He'll be fine, but give me the anabolic protoplases. ::Holds out her hand::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Ch_CTO: I'd love to, but we have orders.  There's not much we can do.
Host SMLea says:
@<Clay_aOPS>*Clay/Andy Senior Staff*: All Claymore and Andromeda senior staff are to assemble in the conference room in 15 minutes.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::exits the transporter room and ducks immediately into the turbolift, not waiting::  Turbolift: Bridge.
Host SMDrew says:
<Starfleet_Command> COM: To all Vessels: Starfleet Security forces and medical vessels are en route to Risa.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Ch_CNS: Good thinking, Once we know we are secure and under way you can attempt to assist also.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
#::Locks targeting sensors onto the two Vroa on the planet, and lets his finger hover over the firing button, before thinking about the bystanders that would be killed by a phaser blast from the ship, and pulls his finger away::
Andy_EO_Ens_Keyes says:
@::Dishearedly slams his phaser rifle back into the weapon locker and makes his way towards engineering::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#<MO Rhapsody> ::Hands it over and watches on::
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#::Sends Hayley to Cargo bay to escort refugees to Sickbay::
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#::Rushes onto the Bridge::   CO:  Captain. what’s the situation.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Ch_CTO: Can you get a lock on the presumed Vroa on the planet?  If so, see if you can get a shot as we pull out.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Mor'ak: Not good.  Someone, presumably the Vroa, are wrecking the planet.  We've been ordered to pull back by Command.  So far no ability to lock onto anything in orbit.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#Ch CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Feels bad for those still on Risa::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
#CO: Already locked sir, but the phaser blast will take out the entire main square
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#::Sets the protoplases up and they start healing up the abrasions and gashes.:: MO: There doesn't seem to be permanent damage. Keep up this treatment. Keep him sedated until treatment is complete. You know the drill. I'm going to the bridge. ::Grimaces and heads right out of sickbay::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#<MO Rhapsody> CMO: Aye, ma'am....
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#::hears the CTO report::   CO:  do what must be done
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Ch_CTO: We can't fire if there are civilians.  Too much risk.  Blast.  I hate this.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::steps on to Claymore's Bridge::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
#CO: Aye sir. ::takes deep breath:: Self: Kahless forgive me ::Fires phasers at the two Vroa::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#::Makes her way up to the Cherokee's bridge:: CO: Admiral Garrison is healing up. He should be fine.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#<aFCO> CO: Helm laid in, Captain.  Ready to depart.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#<Hayley>::Walks into Sickbay with fifteen new patients for the Cherokee's medics to evaluate::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#aFCO: Engage, maximum Warp.
Host SMLea says:
@<MO_Lt_Jennings>::Pushes T'Shara out of surgery and into post-op, then applies a hypospray to her neck, trying to wake her::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Phasers fire from the Cherokee and hit the main square.  The Vroa vaporize instantly.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Cher_CMO: Thank you, doctor.  That's at least one piece of good news today.
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
#CO: The Vroa on the planet have been destroyed sir... along with the entire town square
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#::Nods and frowns:: Cher_CO: We're leaving?!
Host SMLea says:
@<Clay_MO_Jennings>Clay_CO: Captain...?  ::Waits to see if she'll awaken::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The dust settles on Risa.  The screams from those wounded echo through the main square and the street fair.   5200 wounded and 120 dead and climbing.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#CH CTO: Good job, Ensign.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Cher_CMO: We've been ordered out.  Someone sees something we don't out there.  Gods, sometimes I hate this job.  See what you can do for the wounded.  There is a task force coming in, until we get further orders I'm assuming we rendezvous with them.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#Ch CO: You too, Sir.
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
# All; It could not have been helped..  CO:  Captain. make course for Betazed  I'll fill you in on the way.
Andy_SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::watches Claymore's Bridge crew work furiously; he's still in a little bit of shock with what happened on the surface::
Cherokee_CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
#Cher_CNS: Yeah, great job.  I just destroyed a defenseless town.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Mor'ak: Betazed?  So we have new orders already?  No chance to join the task force?
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#ADM Mor'ak: What's going to happen to those still on the planet, Sir?
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#::Doesn't even know if he's supposed to be talking to an Admiral::
Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Talora says:
#Mor'ak: We aren't stay---- ::Freezes and looks at who she's talking to. She takes a step back.::
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Ch_CNS: I don't think you want to ask that, Ensign.  Or at least you won't want to hear the answer.
Cherokee_CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#Ch CTO: Didn't I hear someone say it had to be that way?'
Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
@CNS: This is bigger than you can imagine.   CO: Captain.  All possible speed. we need to talk.
Cherokee_CO_Ayidee says:
#Ch_CTO: It was destroyed before we made it back to the Bridge.  You just eased it's passing.
Clay_CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
@::Looks up from the sensor console at which he is currently standing, the bridge bustling with more activity and personnel than usual, with some of the Andromeda senior staff around::  Andy_SOPS:  Commander...glad you made it back from the surface.
