<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Dressed in his new pumpkin suit, frustration building::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Waiting in room, trying to look about it for any clues as to what we can expect.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::laying down on her assigned bed.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::In his tiny room sitting on the edge of his bed wondering how he'll ever get out of this place::

ACTION: The door to your room unlocks.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks out his tiny window at the city below:: Self: Even if I could fit through here it's a long way down.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:: feels rather uncomfortable with this orange jumpsuit or whatever it is::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Hears the door unlock and turns to face who, or whatever appears.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hears the lock, tenses for a second, then steps to the door.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears the door making a click noise and gets up to investigate and finds the door unlocked::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::hears the click of the unlocking door but she remains on the bed.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::When nothing appears in the door, steps forward to investigate::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Hospital Intercom>All: All new patients will report to Conference Room 7B104 for orientation.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Slowly pulls the door open and peaks outside::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps through the door and looks about for Conference Room 7B104.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Sees the Captain outside of his room and steps through his own door::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Self: ::raises an eyebrow:: Let's see what they have to say to us... ::stands up and exits the room::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self: What?  I don't want to be orientated to this place.  I hate it here.  I suppose I don't have any choice.  ::Opens the door and steps out into the circular corridor::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she hears the announcement so she gets up, opens the door and exits the room to join the others to go to where they are supposed to go.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Runs into OPS coming out of her room:: OPS: Hi, Commander.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Any idea at all as to what's going on sir?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::glances at the CNS without making a sound::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Not that I would like to present in the open.  But it seems like we are about to be given some sort of answers.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::meets the rest of the crew and nods in silence::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: Are you okay?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Hopefully good ones, or at least answers that we can work with.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  What do you think?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts looking for room numbers::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: That this place sucks and I want to go home.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  We all do.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Automated Orderly>: CTO: What are you looking for?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Orderly: Conference Room 7B104.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Orderly: Conference Room 7B104.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Automated Orderly>: CTO: Half way around the ring on your left.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::growls and starts off to the left::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears CTO talking:: OPS: Come on the others are just ahead of us. ::Picks up the pace::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Keep the edge but remain calm.  Now isn't the time for it.  We need to size up the situation first.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::heads to join the others::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Catches up to the others::  CIV/CTO/CO: We're here.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Be ready.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: If you mean, to get out of here, I'm ready.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Oh yes--- ::follows the group::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: For anything.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Sees a door label ahead that says 7B104::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps inside the door and looks around.::

INFO: The conference room has several rows of chairs and a desk at the head of the room.  No one else is in the room::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Stops in the doorway and looks around before entering fully::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Enters the room and looks around:: All: What?  No table with donuts and coffee?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: either a real conference room or a well staged one.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Enters the room::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Finally steps into the room after looking over everything::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Steps over to the desk to check it out::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: I am guessing that our comfort is to be addressed, but I do not expect too much.  I can only see one reas...never mind.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Pushes his hands down on the seat of several chairs as he approaches the desk::

Nurse_Ratched says:
::Enters the room and stands at the front::  All: Please be seated.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she sits down in a chair, and maintains a proper sitting posture::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finds a chair and uses it.  Then he eyes the female Rabidusian in the nurses outfit::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: Who are you to ask anything from us?

Nurse_Ratched says:
CTO: Do I need to have an orderly in attendance?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Chill.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes a seat.::  Nurse: At this point I would say no.  We will comply with instructions.

Nurse_Ratched says:
All: Welcome to Pleasant View and welcome to B ring.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Sees the others sit down and grudgingly takes a seat.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::takes a seat::

ACTION: As she speaks Ratched goes to each of you in turn and places an identification wrist ban on each of you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Nurse:  Thank you.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: Why have we been brought here against our will? ::Examines the wrist band::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CNS - ::As she places the identification bracelet on his wrist:: Ratched: Why are we in an asylum?  I'm a psychiatrist and I can assure you, none of us is crazy.

Nurse_Ratched says:
CNS: As we have learned, patient three, one, one, one, seven, six, criminals are criminals due to brain abnormalities and mental disorders and so, criminals are treated here as insane.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Jumps up:: Nurse: WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS!!!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CTO:  Sit down!

Nurse_Ratched says:
CTO: One more outburst from you and I will have to punish you.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: ::mumbles:: Brainwash techniques for sure.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: I have not even begun to outburst!

Nurse_Ratched says:
All: While you await your trial, it is important you not cause any trouble.  I won't tolerate it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse: We are a bit confused.  In our society one is formally charged and told what the charges are from the start.  Your people have a different way of doing things, it will take us a little bit to adjust to it.

Nurse_Ratched says:
CO: Ignorance of our ways is not an excuse for bad behavior.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: I will not adjust! You have kidnapped me and my crewmates from our vessel, and I demand you release us immediately!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: I agree with your argument.. but I would recommend a bit of patience considering our present situation.

Nurse_Ratched says:
CTO: Then your stay here will not be a pleasant one.  All: We have a few rules here that you must follow.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Lieutenant, relax.  As I said there will be a time for that.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: Of course you would you Vulqagnan gobHe'.

Nurse_Ratched says:
All: Elevators are off limits.  Do not go near them unless instructed to do so.  Stay on B ring.  Don't go wandering off to another ring.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: My stay here is already not a pleasant one!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Raises hand::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse: Alleged bad behavior.  But I was not looking to excuse anything.  Just letting you know the source of the "discomfort".

Nurse_Ratched says:
OPS: Yes.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: I would ignore that since I don't speak Klingon. ::raises eyebrow::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Nurse:  Am I allowed to inquire to the whereabouts of those that were on our ship, especially children?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Whispers:: CTO: Relax, our time will come.  Now is the time to gather intel.

Nurse_Ratched says:
OPS: As far as I know the ten of you are the only ones taken from your ship.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Nurse:  Thank you for answering my question.

Nurse_Ratched says:
All: Obey all staff, as well as the automated orderlies.  Eat every bite you are given at mealtimes.  Don't do anything inappropriate in the common rooms.  Keep your room and yourselves neat and clean.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse: Is there any idea how long it will be before our trial?  And do we have any options towards our defense?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Ratched: Hey! I'm always clean. ::Looks disapprovingly::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I cannot relax. I am a captive.  These P'taH have dishonored me, and I will not stand for it!

Nurse_Ratched says:
All: Let's hold the question until I'm done, please.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CTO:  For the last time , Be quiet and that is an order.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
growls again as he slowly sits back down::

Nurse_Ratched says:
All: There.  I've given you the biggest rules.  You'll learn the rest of the rules as we go along.  Don't worry.  The staff and I know you're all new and so, some latitude will be given but, don't push it.  Any rule broken will result in demerits.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse: Apologies.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: What is a demerit?

Nurse_Ratched says:
All: Now, I'll address your inquiries, if I can.  Some things you are all going to have to accept your circumstance.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse:  If we are to go to trial, what are we charged with?

Nurse_Ratched says:
CTO: A demerit is a strike against you.  If you have too many demerits... well, trust me, you don't want to find out.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: Perhaps I do.  I am a curious sort of fellow.

Nurse_Ratched says:
CTO: I don't know.  I haven't anything to do with the judicial system of Rabidus.  I'm just a nurse in charge of this unit.

Nurse_Ratched says:
CTO: Too many demerits result in being taken from B ring and sent elsewhere in the hospital.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: Will we have representatives to guide us through this supposed legal process?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse: Do you have any idea how long the wait until trial is, and do we have any rights for defense?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: You should talk less.  You're going to get in trouble.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: In case you didn't notice, we're already in trouble!

Nurse_Ratched says:
CO: Your trial date is not set yet.  You've just arrived.  You're still being processed and yes, you will have representation.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  Nurse: Thank you.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: So, you need more trouble.  I don't.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::thinks “processed?  Or brainwashed.  I think I will need to make a good use of my Kohlinar techniques.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Well I don't plan on sitting around being a meek little ghobHe'.

Nurse_Ratched says:
CO: You are welcome patient Five, one, two, three, six, nine.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Who's asking you too?  But, we need a plan.  Pissing off the ones who run this place isn't in our best interest.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she remains quiet::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: We'll see.

Nurse_Ratched says:
All: If that is all the questions you are free to go.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse: Very good.  Do you have a title we should refer to you by?

Nurse_Ratched says:
CO: Nurse Ratched will do.

Nurse_Ratched says:
::Leaves the room to go about her duties::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse: Thank you Nurse Ratched.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: That was fun... not.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Stomps from the room heading back to his cell::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she gets up and begins her trek to her room::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Well, he's going to be a problem.  I mean keeping him out of trouble.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Aye, it will be a fine line to toe.  We will need his edge, but have to keep the edge held.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO/CIV: It looks like Q'ten and Commander Nash are going to have trouble adjusting here.  Maybe the rest of us can have a closer look at our new habitat.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Enters his cell and slams the door shut::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she enters her room and returns to her bed::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: The Commander's question about the rest of the crew was understandable, but I hope it doesn't point them back to look for more.  But for now yes, figuring out what we have here is a good plan.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Paces back and forth, fists clenched::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV/CO: I suggest we start in the common room Nurse Ratched mentioned.  Maybe we'll run into those we are looking for.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: I agree, Ensign. That would be a logical step
