Ship's Log, Stardate 11712.03.  The Bridge crew remains in our "Asylum", although prison seems a more appropriate term.  For now we are still looking for openings and ways to make it out.  And wondering where the rest of the ship's crew and the Earhart crew are.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In common room, moving about, trying to "develop" a quirk of stopping to count the lights every 20 steps or so.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Walking the circle, as he's done most of the morning.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Wandering aimlessly around the common room eyeballing the nurses and robot orderlies::

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
::In the common room:: CO: It's been a week since your arrival.  Any thoughts on how to get out of here yet?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Finally decides to throw caution to the wind, and approaches a nurse at the desk::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finishes seeing what he was looking for while doing laps and heads into the common room::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: To be honest I am still trying to learn, although that is more in hopes of having more of either of our crews arrive here than hopes of learning something new.  Time for that is...  ::Stops and counts the lights.::  Running out.  Figured adding in a few "psychological quirks" might help keeps us here though.  Hope I'm selling it well.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse:  Excuse me nurse, I'm just curious, but are you a typical Rabibusian?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: When it comes time to move, the keys the nurses carry seem to be the key.  We get our hands on those or nothing else we do will matter.  Of course that is an assumption that the keys will operate the elevators.

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Nurse One>: CTO: Listen, six, four, eight, one, two seven, you're very impressive but, that doesn't give you the right to be asking all kinds of foolish questions.  Now, go find something to do.

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
CO: I think we should do something about the orderlies too.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO/All: Sir, I've looked everywhere I could on Ring B.  I've even checked all the patient doors.  Of the ten bridge crew that arrived with us from the Cherokee's bridge, only eight of us remain on Ring B.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: My name is Q'ten, son of Q'tor of the House of Qaveq. And I'm just curious.  That what Starfleet does. Explore the galaxy and try to learn about new races and new cultures.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods while counting the lights.::  Price: Agreed, but how is the bigger question.   One or two Phasers and the problem is solved but...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Anyone notice when or, if luck is with us, where they went?

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Nurse One>: You're very amazing but, I haven't the time.  Now, go away or I'll call the orderlies.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: And you find me 'impressive' do you?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: They were here yesterday.  It was the science officer and one of our helmsmen.

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Nurse One>: CTO: Never seen anything like you.  You'll do well here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: We need to start making moves to keep more from leaving.  Try spreading the word.  Any "quirks" people can come up with seem to keep them here.  I'd rather keep us as together as we can.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: I'll do well here?  Are you kidding?  I can't make a move around here without getting a demerit. How am I going to do well here?

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Nurse One>: CTO: Why do you think they're being so cooperative about your odd dietary needs.  You're getting what you need, aren't you?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: No Sir.  We will maintain our order but outward signs need to be held back, as much as we can.  After all, in reality all are equal here for now.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: So, what do I call you?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: Cooperative?  What is it to them if we all just fade away and die here?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Either Ayidee or 512369.  Probably the former would be more natural I would guess.

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Nurse One>: CTO: That's enough out of you.  ::Takes out a key and disappears behind the door behind her::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
:CNS: Of course there are other names, Furball maybe?  Not sure how to act natural in this environment but I would guess name calling would come into play...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I'll try, as awkward as that will be... Mister Furball.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Counts the lights again.::  CNS: It will be temporary Daniels.  We just need a way to counter the floating boilers.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Self:: one little question!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Speaking of dealing with the Boilers, have you seen Q'ten about?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Last I saw him, he was pestering a nurse.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Wanders off from the nurses station::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Walks by a robot orderly:: Orderly: Hello Mister Orderly sir

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Then let's go see if we can find him and see if he has any ideas.  I don't know if even his build will be enough when it comes time to act.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Orderly: Can you spare a moment to help me with something?

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Automated Orderly>: CTO: No.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Orderly: That's awfully rude for a trash can!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Follow me.  I know where he is.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Follows the CNS, still doing the light counting thing.::  CNS: If nothing else my quirk is letting be fully familiar with the light layout.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Leads the way to CTO, near the nurses station::  CTO: There you are.  What's up?

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
::Joins the CO, CNS and CTO::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: These Rabidusians and their walking trash cans are entirely anti-social

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Q'ten, good day.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: They even make Klingons seem warm and fuzzy.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Good day to you sir.

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
CTO: They dent more easily than Klingons too.

ACTION: An orderly approaches the group.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Try to resist the "sir" comments for now.  No sense giving them more detail of our organization than we need to.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Earhart XO: And greetings to you sir. While they may dent more easily than Klingons, how well can they sustain those dents would be a good question.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Orderly.:  I can see 17 lights from here!  But I left my scraps in my room.

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Automated Orderly>::Takes the arm of the CNS within its right pincer and clamps onto it.  CNS: Patient three, one, one, one, seven, six you will come with me.  ::Leads the CNS away::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Orderly: Hey, what gives?  Turn me loose.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Orderly: It is not lunch time yet, why does he get to go first?  ::Steps in front of the Orderly.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Orderly:  Hey,,, where you taking my friend?!  You can't take him away from here.  ::jumps into the orderlies path::

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Automated Orderly>::Leads the CNS off of Ring B and towards the elevators at the end of the straight hallway::

ACTION: Four orderlies block the exit from Ring B.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Orderly: Where are you taking me?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Orderly: You don't just walk away from me you floating piece of vorSaq!

ACTION: Two orderlies restrain the CTO.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Struggles against the two orderlies:: Orderlies: Let go of me and bring back my friend!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees the plan going to pieces too quickly.::
Orderlies: Leave them be.  They are my crew, I demand to know what you think you are doing.

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Automated Orderly>:: Produces a key from its body and inserts the key into the keyhole on the left side of the elevator control panel.

ACTION: The CNS disappears into the elevator with the orderly still attached to his arm.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Q'Ten: Change of plan.  ::Lunges and tries to knock one of the Orderlies off the CTO.::

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
::Can only watch as he's watch many times before::  CO/CTO: I'm sorry about your crewman.  He seemed like a nice kid.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Still struggling against the orderlies:: Orderlies:  You two are nothing more than fancy lampstands, and I'm going love sending you to the scrap heaps!

ACTION: The orderlies restrain the CTO and CO and drag them off to their individual rooms.

Earhart_XO_Cmdr_Price says:
<Automated Orderly>: CTO/CO: Patients six, four, eight, one, two, seven and five, one, two, three, six, nine, you have each received a demerit and are confined to your rooms.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Orderly: If you think that is best, go ahead and try.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Orderly: Oooh a demerit!  Whatever shall I do!  To gre-thor with your demerits!!!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps in the room, waits for the Orderly to depart, then starts looking more closely at the window and the outside view.::

ACTION: CO and CTO are locked in their rooms.
